Clerici Tessuto presented at Première Vision Paris the first ecosustainable textile collection, featuring beautiful organic silk and wool fabrics, GOTS certified, and next-generation high-tech fabrics.

Clerici tessuto has chosen the innovative EVO® yarn, produced by the Italian company Fulgar, to offer high-end fabrics combining maximum performance with high durability and little impact on the environment, in line with Clerici Tessuto’s commitment to sustainability.

EVO® by Fulgar is a yarn made from castor oil - not for feeding plant that grows spontaneously. A totally renewable resource that does not require high amounts of water nor subtracts land for human or animal food.

“The collaboration between Clerici Tessuto and Fulgar is a good example of product innovation, an important step on the way to ensuring environmentally responsible solutions for a sustainable present and a better future”? says Stefano Bernasconi, Managing Director at Clerici Tessuto.

Suitable for any textile application, EVO® by Fulgar is ultra-light, super stretch and extremely breathable, dries quickly and does not need ironing, has thermal properties and natural bacteriostatic: a whole range of distinctive values and benefits that ensure maximum comfort and unmatched performance, while retaining an intense eco-awareness.

“We are very pleased to have been chosen by Clerici Tessuto as a partner for its innovative and eco-sustainable collection. We hope that this partnership is the beginning of a long and fruitful collaboration” adds Alan Garosi, Marketing Manager at Fulgar.
