Choosing Wool for Circular Design Choices
Stand up against polyester with our 100% wool collection. By opting for pure wool instead of a blend with polyester, we can ensuring that your garment can be fully recycled at the end of its life. Using a single, natural material makes this circular process much simpler. Makes sense, right?
We also recycle all the small off-cuts generated during production. As Ammar says, "We are always in service to the fabric." It's our way of honouring the materials, no matter how small.

Beautifull initiative! And I really like wool and lots of it. But it is also possible to recycle a certain composition into the same blend or composition. And that is not complicated. And mostly wool is not blended with polyesther - cotton is in huge amounts. Wool - in a higher % in clothes - is mostly blended with acryl (low value) or polyamide (high value). The last material is expensive and has certain qualities. Some blends have an important effect on the quality of a product considering the many functionalities we want from some of our clothes. So to become circular the only solution is not to make products with 100% of the same material. And to stimulate circularity we need to be able to recycle blends, and gain more knowledge on how we do that more sustainable, Bright.day!
