Mulesing-free wool, bluesign system-compliant prints, upcycled products with ECONYL yarn and PFC-free bio-technologies or bio-foam, both based on renewable raw materials, are some of the ecological highlights.Schoeller Textil AG, textile firm focused on sustainable development and production of innovative fabrics and textile technologies, has unveiled newly-interpreted original soft-shells, individual prints, and sustainability as the main themes in the Schoeller 2018/2019 Winter Collection. “Back to the roots” is the Schoeller motto for winter 2018/19.#
Inspired by retro styles, the current original soft-shells embody a new interpretation of the legendary Schoeller ski looks of the 70s and 80s. In full-bodied racing red, ultramarine or sophisticated black with matt-sheen effect, the highly-elastic, bonded performance fabrics feel
extraordinarily comfortable.
The equally functional and extremely comfortable neon orange schoeller-WB-400 is a vibrant eye-catcher, ensuring high visibility on the ski slopes. The two ready-for-print soft-shells in two different weights can also be printed with a personal note. Tailored to children’s wishes, a whole new range of design options is offered by transfer printing, with printing paper which meets the ecological bluesign system.
Textiles with the ECONYL yarn manufactured by Schoeller are genuine upcycled products, produced from regenerated waste material. The ECONYL regeneration system reduces waste globally by reclaiming reusable material from tips and oceans and returning it to the production cycle. The resulting yarn is indistinguishable from conventional yarn in terms of quality and appearance.
This year also sees new additions to the Schoeller ECONYL textile family with three new, exciting qualities: an ultra-light, bi-elastic schoeller-dynamic in burnt henna or navy, a very soft, fine schoeller-dryskin in stone grey or urban greyish blue and a light double-face schoeller-WB-400 in warm terracotta or petrol with contrasting reverse in navy. The special feature of this soft-shell is its complete sustainability; both the backing made of ECONYL yarn and the bio foam in the middle are based on renewable raw materials.
The Local Wool soft-shells with wool interior from Schoeller have natural high-tech insulation that provides a completely new soft-shell look and is an exciting alternative to conventional down optics. In the Local Wool schoeller-WB-400, with or without a membrane, the shape-retaining yet elastic wool fleece is combined with an elastic polyamide exterior and a pleasantly soft inner lining. (GK)
