Fabric, the material itself—its quality, origins, and impact— is often overlooked, as if it would naturally go hand in hand with the garment we love. But in reality, its lifespan is often shorter than the design. If we are speaking literally, a garment is fabric, and without the material, the design never comes to life. There are materials of every color, price, and quality, and the process of selecting the right one for each garment can feel endless.
Most of the time, the fabric isn’t produced where you buy it, and even its production site is not where it really begins, because the yarn often comes from somewhere else. There can be many steps in between.
For this first collection, it was very important to me to be sustainable—not as a slogan or saying, but in terms of durability. I believe the best thing that can happen with a garment is that you have it for life. The longevity and quality of a garment is what I consider to be the marker of true sustainability. And to make that possible, the fabric must live up to the intention, and I also want materials that feel interesting, innovative, and above all, are kind to the body.
The fabrics I choose are produced in Italy and Germany, by companies with a strong reputation for environmental responsibility. I always look for suppliers who are open to real conversations, so I can ask about every detail of their textiles.
It is also important to say that no fabric is perfectly sustainable. Every material has some downside, whether big or very small, energy use, water consumption, chemical treatments, recycled or not, how long it takes to decompose or the distance it travels to reach us. What matters to me is to look at all these factors honestly and to choose the best option possible for what we do. It is not about perfection but about commitment and care in every decision.
When you look at one of our pieces, I invite you to check the composition section written down under the product explanation. I think it is essential to know what you are consuming, beyond the look. And if you have questions about why I chose a particular material, feel free to write to me, I'm always happy to share more.
