Filidea collection: the importance of linen end of Tencel together for sustainability and research
The focus of this SS season reflects the experience of Filidea in the spinning of linen using the cotton process. Filidea uses european linen, in blend with natural and man-made fiber, with a high attention for the environment. The quality COLINO (70% cotton – 30% linen) is the main symbol of this spring/summer collection. The higher percentage of cotton in comparison with the percentage of linen ensure both comfort and transpiration, with the freshness of linen. The spinning process matches both the attention towards the environment with the attention at every steps, in order to get the maximum result from this blend. COLINO is in stock service in raw white and in five colours mass dyed.
EXPRESS (70% linen – 30% cotton) reverses the composition of the previous quality, to get the freshness and the irregularity typical of linen, matched with the comfort of cotton. This quality has unique technical features, that are directly connected to the spinning of a high percentage of linen with the cotton process.
TENCOLINO (50% Tencel™ LF – 50% Linen) is an interesting blend, suitable blth for circular knitting and for weaving. The natural and irregular feeling of linen, of european origin, finds a balance with the brightness and silky touch of Tencel™ LF by Lenzing. This is a man-made fiber that comes from the pulp of eucalyptus, a tree that doesn’t need neither watering nor pesticides. Tencel™ is 100% biodegradable and renewable, its production process has a low energy consumption and it represents the symbol of the eco-friendly innovation.
