Ocean Journal

Last year we celebrated TWOTHIRDS’ tenth birthday! A decade of being the little blue brand by the sea. So it’s no surprise that we find ourselves looking back on this milestone to see what changed in 2020. 

Biodegradable, responsible, made in a closed loop system. We expose the roots of our botanically sourced garments, from TENCEL™ to silky viscose and an all-new revolutionary textile. This is fashion from trees.

The master of minimalism sits down with us to talk about how having fewer possessions has changed his awareness of the world and made him a better person. 

With the help of our customers, we raised 20,703 euros for WWF Spain during Blue Week. We’re blown away and humbled by the results, which show that more and more people are believing in us and our mission. When we all move together, we stand to make waves. We’re grateful to have a community that does.

We know you’ll want your TWOTHIRDS knits to have a long and wonderful life, which is why we’ve put together a wool care guide. This amazing material has lots going for it, being one of nature’s toughest and warmest fabrics. Here’s what we recommend.

When you pull on a pair of TWOTHIRDS jeans, you’re not only wearing a classic piece of comfort clothing, but a garment that represents everything we stand for. Eco. Ocean. Change.

Organic farms are filled with small explosions of colour. The deep red of the cherries, the purple or bright orange of the carrots among the umber of the earth. Everywhere you look, vitality beams back, with fertile land giving rise to flavorful produce. Here, you can find the roots of change.

The quality and sustainability of TWOTHIRDS garments is made possible thanks to a system that results in zero waste. We’ll explain what it means for you, how it works, and why in this post.

Plastic doesn’t have to mean pollution. A shocking amount enters the water every year but if we recycle the material, it can help us feel part of the ocean. This is the story of how plastic became a problem, and how bottles become bikinis.

When a blue whale is underwater, its skin seems to merge with the sea it lives in. Only the rings of light dancing over its back allow us to see an animal of impossible proportions. As soon as the whale begins to turn itself towards the seafloor and flicks its tail up, the rest of its body will vanish into the blue. It will be a creature between two worlds, not quite here and not quite there until only the trace of its tail is left behind it like an echo. Whales are works of art.

The morning light streams into the street as wheels spin into motion and people move like water. Finding the path of least resistance. Spokes and gears are in conversation, click-clacking their teeth together. As the gradient grows, thighs burn like candles: warmly. We’re cycling again. 

Our team at TWOTHIRDS is not only producing sustainable clothing for you, but also stands completely behind the whole idea and science that for example, the “Fridays for Future” movement and scientists all over the world represent.

WE MADE IT! Thank you for all of your support. We have exceeded our goal by an overwhelming amount!  Together we have taken a step further to preserve the environment. Let’s continue to take care and protect what you love.

Ever since Karl Mackie joined us as a Sentinel in 2012, I had the feeling that I needed to visit Cornwall again for old times sake and to discover it through different eyes.

An introduction to Freediving with our Sentinel Concha Rossler & Ruth Osborn. What is Freediving? Freediving is diving into deep waters on one breath and without any breathing apparatus. Freedivers use inward control, discipline and power to descend into the ocean while holding their breath until they resurface.

Our Friends from EcoMar are cleaning beaches since nineteen years and have so far cleaned 17,000 meters of coast line with the help of over 2 million children.We have joined forces with them this Black Week to make a difference together with you for a better future and cleaner beaches. 

Linen and Hemp are very similar when it comes to the cultivation of raw material. Furthermore, the production processes are comparable, making the two fabrics almost equal in their advantages compared to conventional cotton. However, linen is used more widely and is, therefore, more accepted. Additionally, it is also used purely and not primarily in blends (due to different fabric characteristics).
