The story

About Ida Volta

Owner · Johanna Adriaens is the owner of Ida Volta.

Ida & Volta is a Belgian natural-materials label that names its supply chain openly: Belgian linen from family mill Libeco, virgin wool from the Burel factory in Portugal, recycled cashmere from a Tuscan family business, and GOTS-certified organic cotton mainly from Uganda (sometimes Israel). Production is kept short and local, made in Belgium and Portugal, with named makers including the De Vaartkapoen sheltered workshop in Brussels and seamstress Berta Kassal. Ida & Volta offers near farm-to-shelf transparency rare for a small brand.

MaterialsIda & Volta makes its womenswear from 100% natural materials that are EU sourced and traceable, using Belgian linen and hemp, Portuguese wool, organic cotton, Tencel made from eucalyptus, recycled cashmere from Italy and handwoven…
SourcingProduction stays short chain and local for Ida & Volta, with garments sewn and finished by skilled artisans in the brand's own Belgian atelier and other Belgian ateliers, and knitwear designed in Gent and knitted…
End of lifeIda & Volta prioritises biodegradable mono-materials like 100% organic linen or wool that are easier to recycle, and builds circularity into its natural fibre pieces through mending services, repair over replacement and secondhand resale.

How Ida Volta compares across published ratings

Wear it longer

Work out the real cost per wear

Use the price and realistic wear count to compare long-term value.

£0.00 per wear

Cost per wear is the honest test behind "buy less, buy better": a £200 coat worn 300 times beats a £25 one worn 5 times. It rewards wearing what you own and choosing things built to last.
