Thanks to this iconic sweater, we were able to take the first step towards studying the life cycle of our garments, allowing us to highlight the areas with high environmental, ethical, and social impact that require intervention.

The choice to produce only on demand, locally and involving healthy and traceable companies in the supply chain, has allowed us to track the product and collect certain and transparent data on environmental, ethical, and social impact. The analysis also allows us to experiment with advanced finishing cycles that can compared to standard cycles and almost completely avoid the use of chemical additives..
