Which is the most innovative products

of your A/W 22-23 collection?
The most innovative product we have

presented for the next collection is PP 52-

36, an elastic tape made with Dryarn®

yarn, a chemical-base polypropylene

microfiber. 
 

What characteristics make it innovative?
Lightness, breathability and extra-fast drying. What makes this product innovative is the yarn used, which makes the tape almost 20% lighter than our flagship polyester item. The Dryarn® yarn used in the PP 52-36 tape is also stain-resistant, dries quickly and does not need to be ironed; it is long-lasting thanks to its high chemical, abrasion and breakage resistance and excellent color fastness.
Our PP 52-36 elastic tape can be considered an excellent ally for sportswear items that require extra fast drying, lightness and at the same time resistance and easy maintenance over time, keeping the skin dry under all climatic conditions.
 

Is it a sustainable product?
Yes, it is, because it is composed of more than 20% recycled material, and therefore it complies with the legal definition. The composition is 46% (Dryarn® by Aquafil) PP - (recycled) 32% PL - 12% EA - 10% PA.

 

Do you have a dedicated communication project for it?

Certainly, our communication project was published in the OutdoorMag and Bike4Trade trade magazines in the July 21 issue, and in our social and web channels and printed media.

 

What buyers is the product addressed to?
The product is addressed to buyers involved in the world of sportswear, from cycling to running to outdoor and activewear. In a nutshell, wherever lightness plays a pivotal role in meeting high-performance and technical requirements.
