Material R&D

Raw materials.

With our partners, we look beyond seasons and trends to develop and source raw materials that are sustainable, durable, creative, and innovative and that bring value to the products we make.

Sustainable materials

Sorona® by DuPont®

The 37% plant-based yarn reduces the dependence on oil and petrochemicals and shrinks our environmental footprint.

CHROMUCH

Sustainable color design. It offers vibrant hues inherent to the yarn itself.

Tencel™ by Lenzing

Produced from sustainably sourced wood by environmentally responsible processes

Umorfil®

Natural raw materials derived from fish scale collagen.

Recycled Nylon

Post-consumer waste recycled nylon such as discarded fishing nets and garments made into yarns.

Recycled Polyester

Production and post-consumer waste recycled PET including recovered bottles and garments production excess.

Functional features

Moisture Control

Wicks away sweat from the skin, keeping the body dry and comfortable during exercise.

Lightweight

Provides a comfortable fit and allows for greater mobility due to the reduced weight of the material.

Air Flow

Promotes breathability and prevents overheating by allowing air to circulate through the garment.

Quick Dry

Dries fast to minimize discomfort and skin irritation caused by wetness.

Flexibility

Enhances performance and allows for freedom of movement by stretching and moving with the body.

Heat Insulation

Traps body heat to provide added comfort and protection in cold weather.

Anti-bacterial & Odor Resistance

Reduces unpleasant odors and prevents bacterial growth, promoting freshness and hygiene.

UV Protection

Fiber properties that help block UV rays from the sun, reducing the risk of sunburn and skin damage.

Dye Techniques

Yarn Dye

Colors individual yarns before weaving them together, creating a more intricate and detailed pattern in the material.

Solution Dye

Colors the polymer solution before it is extruded into fiber, creating a highly durable and fade-resistant material.

Space Dye

Colors yarn with multiple hues to create a unique multicolored effect in the material.

Piece Dye

Dyes the entire material after it has been knitted, producing a consistent color across the entire piece.
