Materials

Awareness and care for tomorrow

Materials have always been at the heart of our company philosophy, as have their environmental and social impact. For this reason, we have chosen to pay particular attention to their origin and the methods by which they are produced. Over time, we have obtained several important certifications, testament to our efforts to increasingly ensure material traceability and supply chain transparency. To date, we hold four certifications, namely GOTS, GRS, RCS, OCS, and we are also partners of Better Cotton Initiative (BCI™).

The Global Recycle Standard guarantees products containing at least 20% pre-consumer and post-consumer recycled material and manufacturing activities and processes through which recycled material is used to create intermediate products (for example: yarns and fabrics) or finished products intended for consumers, which employ management models and procedures compliant with the established requirements.

The GOTS provides for the issuance of a third-party verified environmental declaration that certifies: the content of natural fibres from organic farming in both intermediate and finished products, the maintenance of traceability throughout the entire production process, restrictions on the use of chemical products and compliance with environmental and social criteria at all stages of the production chain, from the harvesting of natural fibres in the field to subsequent manufacturing phases, right through to the labelling of the finished product.

The Recycled Claim Standard guarantees products containing at least 5% pre-consumer and post-consumer recycled material and manufacturing activities and processes through which recycled material is used to create intermediate products (for example: yarns and fabrics) or finished products intended for consumers, which employ management models and procedures compliant with the established requirements.

The Organic Content Standard ensures the content of natural fibres from organic farming in textile products, both intermediate and finished, and the maintenance of traceability throughout the entire production process.

Cotton is the most widely used fibre in the production of our garments. Since 2022, we have been partners of Better Cotton Initiative (BCI™), whose mission is to help cotton communities survive and thrive, whilst protecting and restoring the environment.
