Materials with high standards




We believe that only those who understand how a fabric is created and what lies within each fiber can develop truly sustainable products. That's why we don't simply select materials—we develop, test, and optimize them together with leading partners. For the best wearing comfort, outstanding durability, and uncompromising sustainability.




Material expertise out of conviction

We're material nerds. And we mean that in the best sense: Every yarn, every fabric, and every blend is selected and developed with the utmost care. We analyze the entire impact of a product—from fiber origin to processing and use, as well as care, repairability, and recyclability. This results in clothing that is functionally compelling and ecologically relevant.

Sustainability begins with the fiber

Our materials come exclusively from renewable, recycled, or biodegradable sources. We rely on short transport routes, transparent supply chains, and strictly tested standards. Whether Swiss wool, European organic cotton, or wood-based fibers – every material meets the highest standards of environmental compatibility and social responsibility.

Quality you can feel

A garment is only as good as its material. That's why we only work with fabrics and yarns that are soft against the skin, yet durable and easy to care for. Our fibers are functional, breathable, and durable, making no compromises between comfort and responsibility.

Innovation instead of compromise

Together with specialized partners from across Europe, we are constantly working on new solutions: machine-washable wool, stretchy natural fibers, non-iron cotton fabrics, and recyclable functional fabrics. Our development goes beyond the familiar – because we are convinced that the future of fashion begins with materials.


Material highlights

Dive into our material development highlights. Almost every one of our fabrics is an exclusive development with and for us, and the following examples give you an insight into the ambition and attention to detail that goes into every single product.

A fabric that only exists once

For a long time, Swiss wool was an untapped treasure. Processing it was considered too complicated, too laborious, and too expensive. But it was clear to us: We wanted to work with this natural, regional resource, and we took on the challenge.

Together with specialized partners from Switzerland and Northern Italy, we have developed a completely new fabric: the Muntagnard Swiss LANA fabric – made exclusively from Swiss wool. This fabric is only available from us and is unique worldwide.

The shorn wool of the white Alpine sheep is collected from farmers throughout Switzerland, sorted in Huttwil, and then washed according to GOTS standards. It is then further processed in northern Italy into our high-quality Swiss LANA fabric.

RECYCLED MERINO WOOL

Merino wool comes from the Merino sheep and is known for its exceptional fineness and softness. It is breathable, temperature-regulating, and pleasantly easy to care for—a true natural talent.

However, conventional merino wool poses ecological challenges: Sheep farming and the processing of the raw material often have a significant impact on animal welfare and the environment. Therefore, we use recycled merino wool wherever possible.

One example of this is our ReWollution jackets , which are made from 100% recycled merino wool from Northern Italy. This way, we combine maximum comfort with genuine resource conservation.

WOOD & WOOL

The two super fibers merino wool and wood fiber form the basis for our breathable and elegant knitted sweaters. LEGNA-MERINO is almost as soft as cashmere, up to 4x more breathable than cotton and is also a groundbreaking, sustainable innovation. This makes LEGNA-MERINO perfect for anyone looking for optimal temperature regulation and who wants to look stunning with a clear conscience.

We have become real material nerds. The search for new raw materials, the development of exciting material combinations and the testing of new concepts form our central drive.​




WOOD FIBERS

The lining of our LANA jacket is made from European beech wood and the entire LEGNA t-shirt is also made from 100% wood-based fibres. The wood is processed into a fiber in Austria and then made into silky-soft fabrics in Italy (LANA jacket), Portugal (LEGNA t-shirt) and Lithuania (knitted jumper). In dyeing and finishing, our fabrics are processed according to GOTS/Bluesign standards. Even our sewing threads are made from biodegradable wood-based fibers.

EUROPEAN & ORGANIC COTTON

Cotton is often criticized for its ecological and social impact. With the ambition to find innovative solutions to find new and more sustainable ways for cotton, we went in search. The result: a fully traceable yarn made from long-staple cotton from Europe and fabrics made from recycled cotton from production leftovers. Our European cotton is a new generation of cotton that combines the highest quality, sustainability and transparency.

SUSTAINABLE FUNCTIONAL FIBERS

So far, the synthetic fiber has had an insurmountable disadvantage: it can hardly be recycled and if it ends up in nature, it ends up as non-degradable plastic. We therefore rely on a new type of polyamide that is not only recyclable, but can also biodegrade within a few years. In comparison: Conventional plastics need several hundred years for this. And we don't stop with the fabric: the zippers, labels and sewing thread are also made from one and the same material at MIUtec. For additional comfort and mobility, an innovative elastane fiber is used, which can also be decomposed non-toxically (C2C Certified Material Health Certificate™ Gold).
