    INSPIRATION

    Designing and creating a line of garments does not come at a blink of an eye. It is an ongoing process with all senses "ON". Adding up to a creative cabinet of moods and impressions.

    INSPIRATION IS EVERYWHERE

    We find our inspiration everywhere and anytime. On the shores of Portugal, the country where most of our garments are made. In the peace of nature, surrounded by silence. In crowded cities, where we attend the fairs and meet our resellers. 

       

    THE JOY OF CREATING

    One of our key principals is the joy of creating. Preferably from scratch. This process often begins with ideas for prints on garments, which are designed in house.  

       

    Raised in the eighties

    We are kids from the 80's. Icons of our time go by the name of Blondie and Bowie. We admire photographers like Helmut Newton and Peter Lindbergh for their dedication to black and white. We love a bit of shabby, a touch of imperfection. And above all we are passionately dedicated to being different.  

     

    SUSTAINABILITY

    Sustainability starts with creating a quality garment. A garment that withstands time and trends, will last longer. Sustainability is also about sticking to style. BLACK by K&M creates timeless quality pieces. 

    As for the process of production our first and foremost important thought regards the production quantity. A great deal of waste by the fashion industry is caused by overproduction. By limiting production quantities, we simply produce what we need to fulfill wholesale pre-orders and estimated consumer sales.

    BLACK by K&M has signed up as participant in the collective approach to make the sector more sustainable by collecting used garments to be re-used or recycled.

    For our deliveries we rely on the services of DPD. A delivery provider which precisely measures their carbon footprint per parcel, reducing it in any way they can, and offsetting the remaining emissions by funding clean energy projects around the world. The result is 100% carbon neutral parcel delivery across Europe.

    • CREATE

      The joy of creating. It is what makes our hearts beat. If it would not be fun, we would not be able to keep on going. Don't worry: we have Mondays too.

      THE JOURNEY 

    • BE DIFFERENT

      Mediocracy is not an option. We challenge ourselves to be different. We escape from trends and hypes. We stick to our style and stay close to our hearts.
