Ever-green clothes for a sustainable and eco-friendly wardrobe

Against a pop and drop fashion and to reduce the ecological impact of textile waste, we can start with the consumption habits of fashion: Pontex prefers a style that purchases ever-green clothes, with sustainable fabrics for clothing, bio-based resins with natural dyes and recycled cottons

A more sustainable and high-quality fashion is the goal of the “EU Strategy for Sustainable and Circular Textiles”, to be implemented within 2030. The impact of textile products on environment is in fourth place in Europe after food, accommodation and transport. Therefore, EU wants to declare war to fast fashion, the low price “pop and drop” fashion, with rules that favour the use of recycled fibres, reduce that of micro-plastics, prohibit the destruction of unsold stock. 
If we want to reduce the ecological impact of textile waste and help to counteract climate change, we can start with the consumption habits of fashion preferring a style that purchases ever-green clothes.

But what are ever-green clothes? 

Ever-green clothes are long-lasting clothes, that remain beautiful over time and are always trendy. It is underlined also by Elle in its 10 rules to make fashion system circular, in which, in first place, we find “Producing long-lasting clothes”: 
Clothes realised with Pontex fabrics for clothing are clothes to grow fond of, with which you can establish an emotional connection, to be kept always with you in your wardrobe. Blazers, gabardines, trousers, shirts, recycled cottons, realised with sustainable raw materials like organic cotton with GOTS and BCI certifications, Supima cottons, bio-based resins. To be worn in their naturalness or combined with colourful and dense shades, with natural dyes.

Pontex decided to bet on these sustainable fabrics, against fast fashion filling the oceans with plastic, and remain faithful to the vision of the company, in which the identity of unique fabrics, realised according to originality and craftmanship, is part of a historical tradition that is brought forth since 1972. 

Recycled And Indigo Yarn-Dyed Cotton    

Recycled and indigo yarn-dyed cotton with special shades to create clothes that are unique over time, with very different and never common aspects. With these one-hundred-percent sustainable fabrics we realise trousers that are versatile and always trendy but, most of all, attentive to the environment.

Organic resins with natural dyes

Resin-treated fabrics for clothing, realised also with bio-based organic resins, for the production of clothes and dresses as well as blazers, gabardines and trousers, that combine comfort and efficiency, style and trend. For the resin-treated fabrics for clothing proposed by Pontex, the most used textile fibres are cotton, organic cotton and linen.
The dye of these resins is completely natural, of plant origin, realised through eco-friendly processes: no toxicity, then, and no allergic reactions on your skin because no chemical products were used to dye these fabrics.

Natural dyes are considered eco-friendly since they are obtained from renewable resources; they are biodegradable and the remaining material left after extraction of the dye can be easily composted and used as fertilizer. From an aesthetic point of view, dyes with natural colours allow wonderful colourings, very different from those obtained from synthetic dyes.

Supima Cotton

Supima cotton, also known as “luxury cotton”, is a cotton with a long fibre (that can exceed 29 mm) and very resistant, as well as thin. It is one of the most refined and precious cottons in the world, recognised for its extraordinary softness and shininess, that makes it better after each washing, without losing its shape and resisting to tears and rips.
Our Collection of fabrics for clothing also includes Supima Cotton to realize comfortable and elegant trousers in sportswear style: a must-have both in women’s and men’s wardrobe.

With the arrival of colder temperatures, it is important to renew our wardrobe with pieces of clothing able to embrace us in a warm and soft hug without compromising on style Pontex viscose-silk blend: a fabric that drapes beautifully and feels luxuriously soft against the skin Viscose, combined with other fabrics like rayon and silk, as well as with cotton and elastomer, is the perfect solution to create winter clothes with a unique and impeccable look, that combine comfort and refinement in the coldest season too.Let’s discover how. Viscose, rayon and silk: softness, shininess and elegant drapery When we talk about fabrics for winter, we often think about heavy and bulky fabrics.  Who said that to stay warm we need to renounce to refinement and lightness? Viscose, combined with rayon and silk, offers an unexpected solution to create winter clothes with several qualities. Warmth and lightness: viscose and rayon, combined with silk, create a fabric able to keep the body heat without being heavy. Furthermore, silk adapts to the body temperature, keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer. Softness and comfort: the silky hand of viscose, rayon and silk gives a pleasant sensation of softness in touch with skin. The pieces of clothing realised with these fabrics are light and embracing, perfect to be worn in the cold winter days. Style, refinement and versatility: shininess of silk, combined with the softness of viscose and rayon, gives clothes an elegant and refined look. Fluid dresses, relaxed blouses, palazzo trousers: possibilities are limitless. Their versatility allows to create outfits that are suitable for different occasions, from a casual look to a more formal one. Resistance to wear: viscose, rayon and silk are very resistant fabrics; furthermore, they absorb colours very well when dyed, thus looking very shiny.  Viscose is an artificial textile fabric of natural origin: in fact, it is produced starting form a fibre already present in nature, the cellulose, and it is appreciated for its softness and fluidity and its capability to drape in an elegant way.Rayon, that is a variant of viscose, shares its characteristics concerning softness and draping, but adding more resistance and a shininess comparable to that of silk.Silk is a precious natural fibre, well known for its shininess, softness and thermoregulation capability. Viscose, cotton and elastomer for a winter with super-soft hand   Pontex fabric blend of cotton, viscose, and elastomer: exceptional drape and fit Fashion interprets autumn and winter with fabrics for clothing having super soft hand, for clothes that are absolutely comfortable and with a unique effect. This is the case of viscose, mixed with cotton and elastomer: the perfect mix of fibres to have amazing winter clothes, that combine free movement, style and practicality without “adding too much weight” to our wardrobe.  Together, these three fabrics give life to winter clothes with different qualities: Smart warmth: together, viscose and cotton create a fabric able to insulate from cold without adding too much weight. Elastomer, on its side, helps to maintain the shape of the piece of clothing and to guarantee a tight fit that retains body heat.  A 360° comfort: viscose gives the fabric a silky and pleasant touch, while elastomer guarantees impeccable fit and free movement. Perfect to live winter days with dynamicity and style. Excellent breathability: the presence of cotton and viscose guarantees excellent breathability, avoiding humidity accumulation and keeping your skin fresh and dry.
