COFUR DENMARK

COFUR Denmark was founded in the year 2013 by the travel-loving couple: Gitte and Kim Henriksen, who, through several trips and one longer stay abroad, fell in love with the old silk sarees from India. A sari an approximately 6 meters long piece of fabric that can be draped around the body and fastened with a safety measure. Sarees are a way in which Indian women express themselves and are associated, in addition to femininity, also with grace, beauty, and elegance.

In addition to their great fondness for Indian fabrics, we do not escape the fact that the fashion industry is one of the biggest culprits from an environmental perspective. And that is why, at COFUR Denmark, we have done away with toxic chemicals, textile dyeing, and other disturbing processes that are associated with “fast fashion” trends. For what is more sustainable than buying up existing silk that is already in circulation, getting it checked, washed, and sewn on to other styles? We can hardly think of anything else… But just because the saree is already in circulation, it must also live up to our high standards in terms of quality, colors, and prints. Therefore, the selection of the right saris takes place via a digital connection between Denmark and India, when we can not physically visit our Indian colleagues. The selection is an important process, whereby the sarees are neatly hand-picked, so we can always guarantee you the perfect combination of colors and prints. Subsequently, the saris are washed and get into the hands of well-trained seamstresses, who have given new life to the old saris. That way you have the opportunity to continue a lifelong story - from woman to woman with love! Wholesale E: info@cofur.dk Photo credit: COFUR DENMARK
