Sustainability

We act following the 17 goals of the Agenda 2030 for a sustainable development .
Our engagement is for the sustainability all the supply chain along, through the respect of workers and consumers health, the realization of creative and production processes, the enhancement of creative recycle and investment in innovation and research.

The textile certifications are the base in order to define a sustainable fashion.
For this purpose, we have chosen to put into our collections an increased number of fabrics able to grant the highest respect of the environment, keeping in the meantime the tradition and the history which since ever have been characterizing our Company.

Many of our fabrics have the following certifications :
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), BCI (Best Cotton Initiative), OCS (Organic Content Standard) and GRS (Global Recycled Standard).

GRS (Global Recycled Standard).

Global Recycled Standard recognises the importance of recycling for the growth of a sustainable production and consumption model, with the purpose of fostering the reduction of resource consumption (virgin raw materials, water and energy) and increase the quality of recycled products.

 

GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard)

The certification Global Organic Textile Standard states the utilization of natural fibers coming from biological agriculture, such as the biological cotton. This means that the product has been fully realized following the restrictions applied in respect of the environmental and social protection and at all levels of the production process: cultivation of the fiber, dyeing, finish, labeling.

BCI (Better Cotton Initiative)

Cotton is a natural fiber, the most natural we can utilize!
We do use cotton from responsible production applying the standards of the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI), the biggest no-profit organization which works in order to ensure a more sustainable future in the Cotton field.
Applying to these standards it means that more sustainable productions are generally put on under the points of view of environment, social, economical. By consequence, results are : utilize the water more efficiently, decrease the utilization of chemicals and negative effects of pesticides, improve life s workers conditions and the development of cotton cultivators.

OCS (Organic Content Standard)

Cotton is the most biological origin s fiber. Our biological cotton has got the OCS certification which ensures the biological origin  of the yarn fibers and their traceability along the whole supply chain of the eco sustainable production.
