An innovative project of clothing and home accessories , “100% natural” finds its origin from the desire of using precious natural fibres such as cashmere, yak wool and silk and other high quality blends not subjected to a dyeing process. The “100% natural” collection is a sustainable project in virtue of its simplified production process: a smaller quantity of resources is employed to obtain the finished products and moreover all dispersion in the environment of chemical residual substances, connected with the dyeing process, is eliminated.
The “100% natural” accessories are products with a distinctive touch; no alteration is produced through the heat process that is necessary during the dyeing, their fibres suffer no aggression from the application of surface colouring agents. These fibres preserve their physical, mechanical and tactile features, with an incomparable natural touch.

All this using “jersey”, the knitted fabric that was formerly used unprocessed by the fishermen of the British island of Jersey, after which it is named, and later improved and largely spread in clothing industry.

The collection "vegetable tanned leather" wishes to awaken the consumer by promoting a productive process that enhances the material's quality. The vegetable tanning, despite requiring more time compared to the chrome tanning, the widerspread process, allows to obtain environmentally low impact, biodegradable and non-allergic products. All imperfections and marks of time of the products are a sign of uniqueness and naturalness of the product's material.

A collection of top quality products in cashmere and mixed cashmere sold at extremely reasonable prices and obtained by using materials, knitted fabrics and high quality yarns that can no longer be used for the "first product lines", the reason being that the colours, the workmanship or the patterns are "out of fashion" or simply because the quantity left is inadequate for production.
Recycled Knit invites the public and the professionals of the field to reflect on the paradox of current market of "fashionable" products and on the opportunity of a new profession: the "waste designer".
