Team Malizia’s skipper Boris Herrmann and the German fashion brand OLYMP have now launched their third collection made of 100% more sustainable materials. Called “Uncover”, this new collection consisting of seven pieces focuses on a traceable supply chain. In addition to using organic cotton, it offers a glimpse behind-the-scenes and marks another step in their ongoing effort to make clothing that is both responsible and diverse.

, the successful family business from Germany, are announcing the launch of their third joint collection, continuing to meet their high transparency standards. The new limited “

” collection not only incorporates natural fibres but also ensures 

. Consumers can trace their garments from sourcing and production to sale and wear, offering an unprecedented level of insight into sustainable fashion.

Since the beginning of the partnership in 2022, three Boris Herrmann x OLYMP capsule collections have been introduced, each addressing a different sustainability challenge and building on the successes of the last. The first collection, "All Nature" (summer 2024), focused on natural and renewable materials from certified sources. "No Dye" (autumn 2024) eliminated dyes to reduce colouring chemical usage. Now, the third collection takes sustainability a step further by ensuring full transparency. 

 is once again based on natural materials made from renewable raw materials. The limited Boris Herrmann x OLYMP edition shows in a transparent fashion the journey these garments have travelled. All the production steps for the three shirts, two T-shirts, polo shirt, and overshirt can be digitally tracked on the company’s website: from spun yarn to the central warehouse in Bietigheim-Bissingen, Germany. In addition, the greenhouse gas emissions caused per garment can be viewed.

This bare-all strategy of transparent production and emissions calculation empowers consumers to make conscious, informed choices that align with high sustainability standards and personal values. A defining feature of a capsule collection is the effortless combinability of all included garments, forming the foundation for a long-lasting, more sustainable wardrobe.

, owner and CEO of OLYMP, explains: “As part of our commitment to sustainability, we are deliberately maintaining the consistent course we’ve been on for the past few years. With our third Boris Herrmann x OLYMP collection, we are not only emphasising our forward-thinking approach to the design of our range, but also providing a transparent insight into our products’ origin. In doing so, we’re creating further beacons of sustainability”. 

Team Malizia, skippered by Boris Herrmann, proudly carries its mission on its sails with the slogan 

This mission is realised through raising climate awareness, advancing Ocean and climate education and collecting vital Ocean data used by scientists during races around the world. OLYMP, a German family-owned clothing brand renowned for high-quality garments, shares this deep passion for sustainability – quite literally woven into the fibres of its garments. Since the launch of its Green Choice sustainability label in autumn 2021, OLYMP has challenged industry standards, embraces a clear sustainability message and is hence the ideal partner for Boris Herrmann and his team.

The ambitious strategy behind Green Choice is based on three pillars, namely the use of more sustainable materials, a more environment-friendly production and more sustainable product packaging. Independent seals such as GOTS, OEKO-TEX® MADE IN GREEN and TENCEL

 are a testament to the broad entrepreneurial commitment. The aim is to have converted the whole OLYMP range to Green Choice by 2025. Over 80 percent of the brand’s range already meet these criteria.
