About Hopaal
Hopaal is a French clothing brand that was created in 2017 with the aim of making eco-designed clothes that are as environmentally friendly as possible. Hopaal is inspired by the outdoor and surfing lifestyle of the Basque Country, where it is based, and by the values of respect for nature and local consumption. Hopaal is also a radical and independent brand that does not compromise on its responsibility and quality.
Hopaal is committed to sustainability in every aspect of its production process. Hopaal recovers materials that can be recycled, such as organic cotton and polyester, and creates new fabric threads that are used to make its clothes. Hopaal also sources its materials from Europe and manufactures its clothes in France and Portugal, reducing its carbon footprint and supporting the local economy.
Hopaal uses sustainable materials that are durable, comfortable, and functional. Hopaal's clothes are made of recycled cotton, which saves water and energy, and recycled polyester, which reduces plastic waste and greenhouse gas emissions. Hopaal also uses linen, a natural and biodegradable fiber that is breathable and thermoregulating, and wool, a renewable and warm material that is naturally antibacterial and odor-resistant.
Hopaal holds itself to high standards of quality and performance. Hopaal's clothes are co-created by super-active people, tested in high-mountain conditions by guides, and guaranteed for five years. Hopaal's clothes are also certified by various labels, such as Oeko-Tex, GOTS, GRS, and Fair Wear Foundation, that ensure the safety, ethics, and traceability of its products.
Hopaal is more than just a clothing brand, it is a community of people who share the same vision and passion for a better world. Hopaal invites its customers to join its movement and make a statement with its clothes. Hopaal also supports various social and environmental causes, such as protecting the oceans, fighting against deforestation, and promoting education. Hopaal donates 10% of its profits to these causes and encourages its customers to do the same.
