What is "Bjäste"? Who are we?
Bjäste is the story of hand crafted products which, today, laid its foundation in a mountain village far, far away where we are living right now. This is where destiny throw us.
Bjäste is a magical word coming from the high and snowy mountains of Caucasus where the fairy tales used to talk about it. It means "SPRING", which heralds to "REVIVE" and "HOPE".
Bjäste is the result of knowledge that is transmitted from generation to generation since 1865. It continues to develop itself, but doesn’t forget to show its respect to nature and labour.
In brief, as the family of Bjäste, we are conveying the fineness, the quality, the originality and the solidarity through our newly designed and carefully produced different kind of articles to share with you by using old methods and modern technology.

Our Manifest



Being aware of the damages caused by the fast fashion concept to our world and our future, in order to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, prevent pollution of water resources, and the depletion of natural resources, we use the yarns that comply with Global Recycling Standards (GRS) as production raw materials or organic materials. We use only papers and cartons obtained from specially grown forests and we definitely prefer recyclable products in plastic and nylon derivatives that we have to use to package our goods.
As respecting to the animal rights, we do not use angora or mohair. We prefer recycled wool or we use the lambs wool collected from the farms that care about the environment and do not treat animals badly. We oppose the use of animal skins or furs for fashion. As a recycling idea, we prefer the skins of animals used in the meat industry, or use artificial leather produced with alternative methods that do not harm nature. We also only use fake furs in our collections.
We support the farmers who use organic production and traditional methods for purposes including the protection of nature and the spread of ethical and environmentally friendly production; we prioritize naturally raw materials obtained from organic production in our products.
