French fashion and lifestyle brand IKKS Paris joined forces with Italian textile house Manteco to produce a peacoat crafted from recycled MWool. With sustainability in mind, IKKS Paris’ AW22 collection offers an eco-conscious solution for winter dressing with its latest peacoat. The classic silhouette, which was originally worn by sailors, is rendered in MWool, which is a new generation of recycled wool made in Manteco’s studios in Italy. Similarly to natural virgin wool, the innovative and sustainable fibre is soft, breathable, and heat-regulating. It is the first-ever recycled wool to be certified by the Environmental Product Declaration and boasts fully circular zero-waste. This means its production is 99.2% less impacting on climate change and consumes 93.3% less energy compared to generic virgin wool fibres.

Inoltre il colore è quello rappresentativo del Galles: con un solo look è riuscita a fare un filotto (riuscitissimo) di tributi. Oltretutto il cappotto (out of stock, ovviamente) fa parte della collezione Conscious del brand, realizzato in lana riciclata prodotta in Italia da Manteco, azienda che ha come core business la sostenibilità.
