LISA is our black denim jacket from The Blue Suit collection. Every component has a documented origin, from the denim to the hang tag.
Why does that record matter?
The European Union is preparing a Digital Product Passport for textiles. Under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), each garment will carry a digital record of what it is made of and how it was made. The detailed rules for textiles are expected in 2027 and will apply from 2028 at the earliest.
What does the record of LISA contain?
The outer fabric is Italian organic cotton denim with Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold, including the woven-in stretch fibre.
The lining is organic cotton with Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold, printed by hand on panels in Italy with certified ink. Where a sleeve needs a lining, we use lyocell or cupro with OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100.
The shoulder pads consist of layers of organic cotton certified under the Global Organic Textile Standard, known as GOTS.
The buttons are made from untreated olive wood.
For the smaller buttons, such as those on trouser flies, we have used corozo; both materials are certified to the OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100. The one piece of metal is a removable, nickel-free TBS pin.
The labels are organic cotton with Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold and a certified print.
The care labels combine organic cotton and paper.
The jacket is sewn with thread made from organic cotton. The seams of the armholes, which are subject to the most strain, have been reinforced with a blend of recycled fibres.
A certified atelier in Northern Italy cuts and sews the jacket.
The oil in its sewing machines also has Cradle to Cradle certification.
Then the jacket is washed using the e-Flow technology, which uses nanobubbles and a minimal quantity of water with zero discharge.
Afterwards, LISA dries in the air. To finish, the jacket is packed without plastic, with a hang tag of cellulose and Cradle to Cradle Certified® paper.
Every line of this record needed evidence before the certificate was issued. When the digital passport arrives in 2027, the record of LISA is ready.
Building a certified supply chain from zero takes two to five years. Ours exists, and it is ready to be taken to a larger scale.
