Sustainable Fabrics
When they become a life choice, SUSTAINABLE FABRICS are perceived not only as ethically superior, but also as luxurious.
Millennials and Generation Z are investing in these ideals with a great political and social commitment, giving rise to a conscious and modern luxury defined as much by its ethics as by its purpose.
Our Made In Italy SUSTAINABLE FABRICS are the result of environmentally-friendly industrial production processes rooted in the reduction of energy consumption, the use of renewable sources of raw materials, an optimization of the production chain, and a reduction in the use of chemicals thanks to new solutions based on biochemistry and the use of biotechnologies.
Nature’s sound
Renewable and Biodegradable Wool
Merino wool is an animal fiber that comes from sheep shearing so it is natural, biodegradable, and renewable. Our wool comes from farms that have been certified with the Responsible Wool Standard, which ensures the protection of the land and the proper treatment of the animals.
Organic Cotton
In producing organic cotton, biological production systems are used that do not involve the use of pesticides, insecticides, chemical fertilizers, or GM seeds.
Such a cultivation process is made possible by the introduction of predatory insects into the plantations (replacing chemical insecticides) and the manual removal of weeds along with the use of 100% natural fertilizers (to avoid the use of chemical herbicides). In this way, aquifers are not negatively affected at all.
The cultivation of organic cotton also minimizes water consumption due to the implementation of crop rotation, which makes the soil more fertile and therefore less in need of water.
Milk Fabrics
These fabrics are produced with milk fiber, which is obtained through a process of extracting and purifying casein, the main protein in milk.
Fabrics produced with this fiber preserve the properties of milk and are beneficial for the skin. They are antibacterial, stimulate the circulation of the blood, and have an excellent capacity for breathability and moisture absorption.
Innovative Sport Fabrics
TECHNO-WOOL
The natural characteristics of merino wool make it an ideal fiber in developing technical sports fabrics. It has thermo-regulating properties that ensure an optimal body temperature both in summer and in winter. It is a breathable material that transfers sweat to the exterior of the garment where it can dry quickly and resists odors, allowing a garment to be worn for several days. In addition, the natural elasticity of wool allows garments to easily follow the body’s movements for maximum comfort and freedom and it naturally blocks UV rays ensuring protection in all seasons.
TECHNO-RECYCLED
Our sports fabrics are made from recycled polyester and nylon. The use of recycled materials allows us to reduce our company’s environmental impact, reducing carbon dioxide emissions, saving energy, and limiting the production of new material to avoid waste. Polyester and nylon are 100% recyclable, thus creating a circular economy that prevents them from being dumped in landfills.
Nylon in particular can be purified, regenerated, and spun countless times because it never loses its initial characteristics.
Vegan Luxury
Bamboo
This fiber comes from bamboo wood. Fabrics produced with these fibers enjoy remarkable properties of softness, lightness, and breathability. They are also antibacterial and hypoallergenic, offer a good degree of UV protection, and have the ability to release moisture.
Hemp
Hemp fabrics are obtained from processing the fibrous component of the plant’s stem. It is a fast-growing plant, needing little water and not requiring the use of herbicides, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or GM seeds.
Its fiber has a high thermal-insulation property and breathable capacity. It is very durable, soft, and comfortable. It also protects against UV rays and does not irritate the skin because of its hypoallergenic and antiseptic properties.
Cellulose
We have decided to switch to a cellulosic yarn produced by Eastman Naia™. The wood comes from sustainably-managed plantations in North America, Western Europe, and Brazil. The solvents used to transform the wood into pulp are reused so that they are not released into the environment. The water used in the process is purified and returned to its original source streams. Additionally, Eastman Naia™ uses a dry-spinning process that does not require the use of water.
Eco-Viscose
New generation viscose from the short, fuzzy fibers still attached to the cotton seed after ginning allows pure, new generation cellulose to be produced from the waste of a regenerated raw material. The yarn obtained has exactly the same performance as that derived from wood pulp, while this viscose is eco-sustainable.
Vegan Leather
We have developed applications with processes and products with low environmental impact that are capable of producing highly refined and top performing eco-leathers.
