Problem we are solving
With the help of fishermen, we remove plastic and fishing nets from the ocean and transform them into textiles that we use in the production of fashion products, such as sneakers, bags, aparell and a microplastic collection bag for washing machines. With this we want to show that it is possible to use marine litter and transform it into premium products. We produce to order and that's why we only use the resources that the market requires for production.
