Polartec meets upcycled with Karpos
Fleece and backpack bags created with fabrics, zippers and labels taken from stock following the philosophy of recovery.
For more than 70 years, the reuse of materials has been a core value for Karpos and MVC group, which, combined with manufacturing experience and creativity, has led to the launch of the new line labeled “upcycled” based on the recovery of warehouse scraps otherwise destined for pulping.
To date, the “upcycled” line includes fleece and hoodies, but it will continue to grow, also based on the materials available. The goal of recovery and environmental responsibility is also pursued through collaboration with Polartec®, a leading brand of innovative and sustainable textile solutions.
“We strongly believe that everyone can do their part to lighten their footprint on the Planet,” says Giuseppe Lira, Karpos Brand Manager, who adds that, also for this reason, natural fibers will be increasingly used in their collections.
For example, the line includes the POLARTEC® X KARPOS / POWER HALF ZIP FLEECE fleece, which features elastic fibers and a breathable, durable and quick-drying dual-surface fabric. Or even POLARTEC® X KARPOS / 80’S R POLARTEC HOODIE, one of the first fleeces launched on the market by Polartec®, which provides warmth and breathability.
