INNOVATIVE & BREATHABLE
An ultimate fabric?? For us it is the one that hugs and supports you at the same time. That looks, feels and falls like a fancy silk but is machine-washable and doesn't crease.
In a few words, one that adapts to our busy lives, bringing the best in us! And that is environmentally friendly, of course.
SUSTAINABILITY
Our recycled nylon is made of 100% pre-consumer waste, knitted in the highest standard Italian factories, using the latest eco-compatible technologies. All of our fabrics are certified GRS*, GOTS** and Oeko-Tex****, justifying the absence of usage of toxic chemicals.
Man-made materials such as nylon (polyamide) is sustainable in its durability, and the possibility of local sourcing, compared with most of the natural fibers (cotton does not grow in Europe). Being able to machine-wash you stay away from the toxic chemical usage, needed for dry-cleaning, also guarantees low-maintenance (no need to iron either!)

FABRIC CERTIFICATIONS EXPLAINED

The *Global Recycled Standard is a holistic certification for products with recycled content.
The GRS is intended to meet the needs of companies looking to verify the recycled content of their products (both finished and intermediate) and to verify responsible social, environmental and chemical practices in their production. The objectives of the GRS are to define requirements to ensure accurate content claims and good working conditions, and that harmful environmental and chemical impacts are minimized. This includes companies in ginning, spinning, weaving and knitting, dyeing and printing and stitching in more than 50 countries.

*GOTS is a textile production certification that limits the use of toxic bleaches, dyes and other chemical inputs during the production process of textiles.
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, including ecological and social criteria, backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain.

If a product is labeled as ****Oeko-Tex certified it is completely free from harmful chemicals and safe for human use. To attain Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification, the fabric has been tested and certified to be free from harmful levels of more than 100 substances known to be harmful to human health.

Non-violent silk, Ahimsa Silk or ***Peace Silk, is produced from silkworm cocoons without killing the pupae inside or without sacrificing animal life.
“Ahimsa”, meaning “nonviolence”, is a philosophy of many eastern religions, stating that humans should refrain from inflicting suffering on others, including non-human and even non-animal life. In this process silk worm can complete their life cycle and finally fly away as a beautiful butterfly.
