Fabrics
Eco fabrics = Designer fabrics
For a long time now, eco clothing has overcome its reputation to be made for “tree-huggers” only. Especially the target group of critical consumers who like to eat healthy and dress deliberately are often individualists and have high expectations concerning quality. This is where eco-designer fabrics are used in.
Due to the artful interplay of high-quality natural yarns made of bio-cotton and bio-wool as well as silk, cashmere and linen with exciting fancy yarns, our eco-designer fabrics have risen to trendsetting products.
The fabric you trust in
Today textiles are often put under the general suspicion that they are hazardous to health and that they are produced under inhuman working conditions.
This does not apply to jeune tricot: made of yarns from controlled bio-cultivation respectively controlled bio-livestock farming; made according to the highest environmental protection criteria directly in Albstadt / Germany; and all that with the applicable certificates.
