HAMBURG – German apparel brand Closed has partnered with denim manufacturer Candiani to launch its new ‘A Better Blue’ jeans collection that integrates 50 per cent Tencel x Refibra Lyocell fibres and 50 per cent post-industrial recycled Candiani fibres.
Candiani recently won the 2019 Sustainable Innovation Award at ITMA in Barcelona for its Re-Gen: Creating Circular Denim project, created with fibre innovator Lenzing, through which it cultivated a fabric of this composition.
Hamburg-based Closed will now adopt the prized fabric in a new collection which it says will save 2,600 litres of water during product manufacture comparative to standard industry practices.
