ENTREPRISE SOCIALE
ANKAA is a place where fashion meets conscious manufacturing.
Since 2020, we've been providing job opportunities for experienced workers and ANKAA graduates, all while making sure our makers are paid a fair wage.
We're not just about using organic and/or local materials - we are passionate about promoting circular economy principles and creating products that are both fashion-forward and eco-friendly.
We provide our makers with a safe and ethical working environment, and we support local suppliers, designers, and makers to bring together different communities through the power of fashion.
We are dedicated to creating products that look good, feel good, and do good.
Join us on our mission to make sustainable fashion the new norm.
What we do
Corporate gifts
Since 2021, we’ve built a strong partnership with MSC, creating each year unique products. Using old conference banners, we’ve crafted over 1,700 items, including laptop sleeves, wash bags and pencil cases. This meaningful collaboration reflects our shared commitment to sustainability, with the products serving as special gifts for attendees at the conference and other events.
We upcycled company banners of Finanzwende, an initiative for fair, stable and sustainable financial markets. We transformed their banners into 150 wallets, a new design based on their ideas, that were used as Christmas gifts for donors.
