Follow Our Journey - No Dye
GROWING
Cotton is a natural, biodegradable, and recylable fiber with properties such as insulation, expulsion of heat, and absoprtion or humidity. The traditional cotton used in our PONCHO collection is grown in Pakistan and collected by machines.
GINNING
After being picked form the field, the cotton is dried and cleaned to achive better quality. Using premium machines called strippers, the seeds and any other foreign material are removed and the cotton is stored before being sent to the textile mill.
SPINNING
Once the cotton reaches the mill (location), the fiber is
put into machines X and spun…
WEAVING
Our partner in Barcelona, Gonclovil, uses a flat weaving
technique, in which the threads are interwoven at
right angles to each other, those running the length of
the fabric interweaving with those running the width
creating a finished fabric.
DYING
Once the fabric is made, it sent for dyeing (location). We
use reactive dyes which are non-toxic and result to less
residual substances. The entire process uses 90% less
chemicals and overall less water than traditional dyeing
techniques and the water can be recycled and reused.
The OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certificates gives the green light that our reactive dyes have been tested for over 300 harmful substances and have passed with flying colors!
FINISHING
After being dyed, the fabric is sent to our manufacturer,
Espinoza Textile in Madrid, Spain. To ensure zero waste,
they make the garment pattern digitally. Before being cut
and sewn, the fabric is left to rest for approximately 1 day
to avoid shrinkage.
A piece of fabric is sent to Bordados Delcón in Madrid,
Spain to be embroidered and then sent back to Espinoza
to finish the poncho.
