AN OUTSTANDING ITALIAN FABRIC

This fabric was made by Manteco SPA, an Italian leading textile company founded in 1943.

It was first established, in 1941, as a small spinning mill by Enzo Anacleto Mantellassi, who started the production of recycled wool yarns by regenerating old military garments and covers.

And as the years passed, it has become a point of reference in the fashion world, thanks to a high level of creativity, constant research, investments, innovations and great textile solutions.

This fabric was manufactured in a zero-mile and zero-waste network of more than 50 expert textile businesses that represents the quality and reliability of Made in Italy.

100% RECYCLED WOOL

This fabric is made with MWool®, the next-generation of recycled wool by Manteco. It is obtained by mechanically recycling highly selected pre and post-consumer knits.

These are brought back to the fiber state and processed with a special patented treatment which fully sanitize fibers and make them durable, resilient and ensures a long life of color.

Different color shades of MWool® fibers are then mixed in specific percentages to create new wool colors, with no additional dyes or chemicals - since recycled garments come already dyed from their former life.

Once the new color of MWool® is ready, it is spinned to create new yarns, which in turn give life to new high-end recycled Manteco fabrics.

NO DYE SUSTAINABLE PROCESS

Manteco uses circular, chemicals-free, dyes-free and unique way to create recycled wool colors.

When it comes to creating colors in wool recycling, no dye is needed for them, since pre- and post-consumer garments come already dyed from their former life.

Through the Recype® process, the artisans of the raw material department manage to divise new wool colors just by mixing different fibers and shades of colors, developing actual ‘recipes’ of no-dye colors that are archived and reproduced over time.

Thanks to this technique, in more than 80 years in the field of wool recycling, Manteco has develop thousands of shades.
