The first sustainable mini collection from Intimissimi
To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the Recycle project, Intimissimi has designed a mini collection for those who want to wear environmentally friendly garments, enjoying the feel of sustainable fabrics whose compositions and origins are known.
The Green Collection will debut in spring/summer 2020. Completing the main collection, this line of lingerie, pyjamas and knitwear is made from certified materials, marked by an identifying cartouche.
The Green Collection is distinguished by the use of materials with low environmental impact, certified by the suppliers of each kind of fabric:
- lace, which contains Qnova® recycled polyamide yarn by Fulgar: a sustainable fibre made from regenerated raw materials;
- silk, certified by Bluesign®: to guarantee a fibre production chain aimed at improving environmental performance;
- modal by Lenzing and bamboo: both from renewable, sustainable wood sources.
Each of these materials will be indicated on the garments’ cartouche, alongside the qualities of the fibre such as softness, a cool handle or breathability.
The debut collection will feature two lingerie series: The Garden Fairy, composed of underwear sets, bodysuits and slips in soft QNova® by Fulgar lace, and Rare Beauty lingerie (more specifically, two bras, Gioia and Sofia, Brazilian knickers and a sus-pender belt) which brings the elegance of Bluesign® certified silk to Q-Nova® by Fulgar lace.
To complete the range is an ample selection of nightwear and a basic knitwear collection in modal and micromodal certified by Lenzing, and in bamboo-derived yarn.
