Accorciando la filiera.
Being transparent is crucial first and foremost for ourselves, to understand the direction in which we are going we must visualise it!

All this combined with on-demand production allows small emerging brands to break free from the logic on which global chains depend!

So far so good, so far what are the critical points of this system? Potentially higher production costs and the need for topic-sensitive customers!

How can we ensure that safe and decent working conditions are respected, commit ourselves to combating child labour and verify that health and safety regulations are respected in all companies involved?

Using market-standard certifications as well as requesting codes of ethics from all project partners!

This does not exempt us from conducting our own timely audits; in fact, we believe that the first certifiers of our work are us!

Corporate responsibility is one of the founding values needed to provide truthful information that allows customers to orientate themselves clearly.

Natural fibres from Supima cotton to hemp, nettle and abaca are only part of our research, which is constantly contaminated by the search for creative industrialisation processes that allow each product to perform and last.

Research and development activities are conducted in our Laboratory in Cardano al Campo and involve local companies.

The accurate and careful search for raw materials, especially yarns, is a fundamental pillar in the creation of high quality products for La Methode.

This analysis not only helps to ensure the durability of manufactured products, but also plays a crucial role in preserving and protecting the entire production chain, meeting consumer expectations in terms of performance, but also helps to build a reputation of reliability and excellence for the brand.

Supima cotton, Sea Island, textile hemp and nettle spun and twisted according to our specifications are the fibres identified as suitable for the project, ensuring that we can measure their impact while protecting their longevity.


Let us also not forget our secondary raw materials: fabrics in stock, whether returned or unsold, are always of excellent quality.

Our Choice, Your Sustainability!

We are passionately committed to selecting the best raw materials, guided by a deep sense of environmental responsibility.

Thanks to our close synergy with the growers, we ensure a conscious and sustainable supply.

Every fibre we choose reflects our commitment to an eco-friendly future, turning fashion into a vehicle of positivity for the planet.

With us, beauty goes hand in hand with responsibility.

In order to obtain a quality product, the selection of the raw material and the partner with whom to transform the fibres into yarn is fundamental.
Working in close contact with the industry associations, which are very close to the cultivation sector, we have arrived at the precise selection of the fibres that make up our yarns.

In our workshop, we carefully select the finest fibres, from their sustainable origin to their craftsmanship.

The magic begins when these fibres are transformed into fine yarns, ready to elevate every creation to a higher level. Our constant quest for quality is reflected in the irresistible softness and enduring strength of our yarns. Every garment worked with our yarns tells a story of craftsmanship, innovation and commitment to sustainability.

Embrace Sustainable Quality in Our Knitted Fabrics! Enter the world of knitted textile production that combines style and sustainability.

Our weaving mill (inhouse) is committed to offering high quality knitted fabrics, made with passion and dedication to care and quality.

Our production starts with the careful selection of sustainable raw materials, ensuring minimal impact on the environment.
Through innovative processes, we transform these fibres into fine knitted fabrics, ready to create distinctive garments.

Our philosophy is reflected in the combination of aesthetics and environmental responsibility. Each knit becomes a work of art, woven with yarns that tell the story of a commitment to sustainability and a love of high-quality fashion.

Recovering waste, of yarns and fabrics, is an activity we have been conducting for years.

At the heart of our will lies the ideal of not wanting to discard excellent raw materials. 

Every thread counts, if carefully chosen, it is an investment that must be enhanced in all its forms, whether it is a backing, a prototype piece or a returned fabric.

The waste is brought back to the form of raw material, yarn, or used to make creative accessories, leading to projects with schools and real capsules.

Our dedication to the recovery of waste is not only an ecological gesture, but also an opportunity to bring new creations and innovative designs to life. Each piece we make represents a step towards a more sustainable and conscious production cycle.

Among the most impactful steps in clothing production are dyeing and finishing.

At these stages, it is possible both to raise the quality of products and to find solutions to mitigate their impacts, emissions and needs.

Using state-of-the-art techniques, we test and offer lightweight finishing techniques, ensuring that each garment expresses the highest quality, from fibre to wardrobe.

The finishing of our knitted fabrics is an enhancement of impeccable details and refined designs.

Each piece becomes a work of art, thanks to special treatments that enhance the natural beauty of the fibres and improve the fit.

The Cut and Tailoring that Revolutionise Fashion!

Enter the heart of our production, where cutting and tailoring converge to create unique and impeccable garments.

Our cutting is precise and essential, ensuring that each fabric is moulded with perfection.

Every detail counts, and the precision of our cutting results in garments with unparalleled fit, ready to wear in style
.
The tailoring is the final touch that transforms the fabric into a wearable masterpiece. With craftsmanship, each piece is sewn with care and attention to detail. The result?

We arrive at the tailor-made always on a handcrafted matrix.

From tailoring to new beginnings by enhancing each fabric cut.

Every cut of fabric from the making-up stage is a valuable resource, ready to be given a new life; we carefully transform it into yarn or use it as a creative accessory.

Each piece made from our fabrics reflects our dedication to reducing waste and contributing to a more eco-friendly future.

Recovering cuttings is not only a gesture towards the environment, but also an opportunity to create original and innovative designs.

To ensure durable and unchanging products, we decided to wash all garments before sale.

In this way, the fibres are already stressed to such an extent that they stabilise and give the garment its finished, wash-proof appearance!

Of course we recommend gentle washing at 30°C for all products, but we want to reassure you that nothing will happen if it gets out of hand for once.

An important piece of news is that you can manage a large part of the impact of your garment by choosing when and how you wash it.
