Alcantara®
Chapter 01
Alcantara®: a material conceived for automotive, combining aesthetic sensoriality and performance.
Non-woven polyester and polyurethane material combined during the manufacturing process.
Extreme abrasion resistance, anti-drop treated. Garments are laser-cut, and bonded with heat-sensitive mesh tapes. Opaque plastic effect details have been obtained by exploiting the material's thermal reaction.
The experimental approach and multi-functionality of Alcantara® are strengthened through contemporary designs. Chapter 01 introduces garments with industrial-inspired elements blending aesthetics and performance.
The Continuative Collection reinterprets the concept of versatility according to contemporary paradigms of practicality and essentiality.
Minimalist and gender neutral aesthetic combines with high quality materials and garment dyeing, providing colour hues and tones variations that are unique to each item and intensified at every wash.SHOP NOW
