Our Story

August 2016, everything starts with an idea. Ours? We wanted to make high-quality outerwear and sell it straight from the manufacturer to you. 12 months later we launched our first collection of 3-layer shell jackets and mid-layers on Kickstarter. We were amazed by the amount of support Cortazu received and lucky enough to become the #1 Fashion project in The Netherlands/Europe. Over a thousand early believers joined our journey and we finally began our mission: GET PEOPLE OUT THERE. FOR THE BETTER. We don't exist just to sell outerwear products. We're here to activate people to create their own adventures while supporting the world around us. It's about creating experiences that matter and cherish the greater good. At Cortazu you don't buy to get, you buy to give. That's why we partnered up with Justdiggit and started to cool down the planet. If we can warm up the earth, we can also cool it down. By digging, rainwater can enter the ground again making dry areas green and helping the earth to restore itself. Because greener land makes a cooler planet. Our first project has been launched in Tanzania. For each jacket sold, we re-green 50 square metres of land on the foot of the Kilimanjaro. This way we're able to support local communities and (re)growth of a beautiful piece of nature. While you can go climbing up the mountain topped with snow for a once in a lifetime experience.
