In addition, our dedication to community and absolute transparency in all our operations reflect our promise to preserve and honour artisanal tradition while moving towards a more sustainable future.
Slow Fashion
Tukaos advocates sustainable fashion, focusing on the concept of slow fashion. This approach promotes the creation and consumption of fashion in a conscious and intentional way, valuing the production processes and ensuring the quality and durability of each product. Slow fashion offers a respite from the mass production and excessive consumption of fast fashion, allowing each process to be carried out ethically and responsibly, considering both the environmental and human impact.
Tukaos recognises the need to slow down the pace of the fashion industry and prides itself on being a slow fashion brand that designs and produces one collection a year. This approach allows Tukaos to devote more time and attention to every detail, reaffirming its commitment to quality, craftsmanship and respect for the environment. Slow fashion values the time needed for each process, ensuring that each member of the value chain can work ethically and responsibly.
Artisans
Tukaos works closely with artisans in the creation of its garments, cementing its commitment to sustainability. By working with local artisans, the brand not only preserves traditional manufacturing techniques, but also supports local communities, promoting their economic and social development. This collaboration helps to preserve artisanal skills that could be lost and encourages a more environmentally friendly approach to production.

Spanish Product
By producing in Spain, Tukaos supports the local economy by collaborating with local manufacturers, artisans and suppliers, generating employment and contributing to the economic growth of the region. This is crucial at a time when many brands are choosing to outsource their production, which can negatively affect local communities and product quality.
Keeping production local allows Tukaos to have greater control over the quality of its products. Geographical proximity facilitates the supervision of manufacturing processes and ensures that the quality and sustainability standards set by the brand are met. In addition, Tukaos takes advantage of Spain's rich tradition of craftsmanship and culture. Working with local artisans and using traditional techniques and materials, the brand creates unique products that reflect the identity and cultural heritage of the region.
In addition, by keeping production within the region and limiting transport distances, the carbon footprint associated with transporting raw materials and finished products is reduced. This contributes to environmental sustainability by minimising greenhouse gas emissions and promoting more responsible production practices within the same geographical area.
