Iconic fabrics: anti-shrink wool and stretch linen made in Italy
Innovative company, more than 20 years ago, Marini Industrie launched its famous durable stretch linen on the market. After many years of research and improvements, the company now presents its new concept of Organic Stretch Linen, a contemporary and sustainable fabric made of GOTS-certified linen with viscose obtained from cotton waste and Eco Smart Roica®-certified elastane.
Second innovation by Marini Industrie, the H2Wool is a revolutionary anti-shrinkage treatment for wool that provides water washability, wrinkle resistance and improved color rendering, while offering additional aesthetic and tactile characteristics to the natural performance of wool. Marini Industrie also ensures that the manufacturing process of H2Wool is traceable and guaranteed without mulesing.
A focus on sustainability
In every Marini Industrie collection, the focus is put on sustainability with fabrics made of recycled polyester, GOTS-certified organic linen, regenerated cotton-polyester, nylon from the reuse of waste such as fishing nets, GRS-certified elastane or viscose from the recycling of cotton waste.
The company also signed the Detox Pledge in 2016, sponsored by Greenpeace, taking part in a process that includes phasing out 11 substances considered hazardous.
