An in-house style team and R&D unit work with the commercial and technical departments to build new collections. Yarns are sourced mainly from European, Oeko-Tex-certified suppliers, including GRS-certified recycled polyester and polyamide. Markets served include corporate wear, fashion/ready-to-wear, sportswear and events. The company also supplies fabric masks for adults and children. It holds OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 and GRS certifications.
