What is your Recycled Collection?
Our Recycled Collection features fabrics sourced from the fabric manufacturers Carvico and Jersey Lomellina in Italy. They are committed to cleaning up our oceans and turning our waste into high-quality materials for sustainable fashion.
Their OEKO-TEX and GRS-certified eco-friendly fabrics are made from 100% regenerated nylon yarn. Plus, they dry almost instantly after washing, saving time and energy. It's a win-win!
Our innovative streetwear is made with ECONYL® yarn derived from abandoned fishing nets, carpet fluff and other discarded materials that pose a threat to marine life. Instead of sitting in landfill or at the bottom of the sea, we're turning them into unique designs that fit perfectly, enhance performance and minimize global impact.
