FUNCTIONAL DESIGN AND PERFORMING MATERIALS
Most of our design work is done to create garment functionality . Garments designed for varying activities , offering the best fit , comfort and performance . At the same time we maintain a high level of design via beautiful shapes , color palettes , and aesthetically-pleasing products .
Design is also about choosing the right materials . Materials for maximum moisture transport . Materials that keep warmth in a wet state – absorb and insulate . Technical materials that reduce chafing and knitted zones that dampen friction . Materials that facilitate mobility and support and protect vulnerable zones .
Few laboratories are better than Mother Earth . We use wool in many of our products , because nothing else can replace it – if you list all the attributes of this unique material . Warming and absorption capabilities . Anti-bacterial . Odorless . Naturalness . Durability . Look and feel . Environmental impact .
Issues that our design department deals with daily includes : Safety . Heat . Environmental impact . Moisture transport . Abrasion . Absorption . Durability . Comfort . Fit . Life span . Sustainability . Protective capacity . Seam location and strength . Leg , sleeve , and sock shaft lengths . Cuff widths . Heel flap lengths . And thickness of the needles to get exactly the right airy feeling in our knitted items .
