Our road map towards 100% Sustainability
What has guided us, for years, is the definition of a road map towards 100% Sustainability for a totally eco-friendly business growth. Important goals have already been achieved, new green projects are being implemented.
Our will is to ensure the traceability of each stage of processing, to gurantee a greener world for future generations. This is also why we work every day to ensure that our fabrics obtain certificates of conformity, in compliance with current criteria and in compliance with consumers who are increasingly careful to make sustainable purchases.
The choice of favoring noble fibers
By renewing our collections every year, we have begun to produce fabrics, giving more and more priority to the processing of noble fibers. Alpaca, camel, virgin wool, mohair and silk are the fibers that give life to natural fabrics of extreme value in which the use of artificial colors is reduced.
These raw materials, selected from reliable and quality suppliers, are collected in total respect of the animals and the environment, and then processed through a long process of transformation. The result are fabrics of excellence, inimitable and exclusive.
Our Certifications
Global Recycle Standard
GRS is the most important international standard for the sustainable production of textiles from recycled materials and certicate the importance of recycling for the growth of a production and consumption model with reduced impact.
The standard provides for the issuance of an environmental declaration, verified by a third party, which ensures the presence of recycled materials within the textile product, traceability along the production process, restrictions on the use of chemicals, compliance with environmental and social criteria up to the labelling of the finished product. GRS certifies fabrics containing at least 20% pre-consumer and post-consumer recycling material. Read more about our GRS certification.
Recycled Claim Standard
RCS certifies products obtained from recycled materials and validates their content. This standard recognizes the importance of recycling for the growth of a sustainable production and consumption model, intending to reduce the use of resources such as virgin raw materials, water, and energy.
RCS provides for the issuance of a verified environmental statement by a third party that ensures the content of materials to be recycled products and traceability throughout the entire production process.

4sustainability® and CHEM protocol
4sustainabilityľ is the implementation framework for sustainability in the fashion & luxury supply chain. Our company adheres to 4sustainability, and applies the CHEM protocol for the elimination of toxic substances from production, through the MRSL ZDHC (Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals). We are committed to this.
The path of change of our business model started with Process Factory, which has resulted in the 4sustainability® CHEM project.
