Fabric Composition: ‘ITY’ (Interlock Twist Yarn) 60% Recycled Polyester, 35% Polyester, 5% Elastane.

The ITY fabric is made from post-consumer recycled bottles to create the polyester fibres. The 60% recycled polyester is certified by Global Recycle Standard (GRS). We source this Recycled ITY fabric from a mill in the UK, reducing the carbon footprint of our product significantly due to a localised supply chain.

Recycled Content:
We are increasing our fabric's recycled content from 60% to 95%. This has taken us time as there is a lot of testing involved to ensure the increased % of recycled fibres does not compromise the stability and quality of the final product. While transitioning, we will use our remaining 60% recycled fabric for current stock and switch to the 95% recycled fabric for restocks. During this period, some items will be made with 60% recycled fabric and others with 95% until the transition is complete.

Key Features:
* Shape-wear Fit: Our double-layered technique, combined with this material, delivers a performance quality that ensures a smooth, sculpting fit similar to shape-wear garments.
* Low Maintenance: This fabric retains its stretch and resilience wash after wash, and resists creasing, eliminating the need for ironing.
* Fast Drying: Simply hang to dry, reducing the reliance on machine drying.
* Travel Friendly: ITY provides a soft hand feel and a tightly woven finish, perfect for durable wear and travel.
* Durable and long-lasting: This fabric is designed to be worn repeatedly, helping reduce waste and the need for frequent replacements.
