<< BRINGING NEW FABRICS TO LIFE >>
The nine-step production cycle of regenerated carded wool has a low environmental impact saving tons of dye, water, and energy each year.
For the VARM Wool Jacket we use postconsumer recycled wool from the district of Prato just outside of Firenze. In this well-renowned textile district, they are honouring a traditional manufacturing process of regenerated carded wool that had flourished as far back as 1850. Creating a regenerated fabric but keeping all the unique qualities of the wool fibre.
