Recycled organic? does it get any more eco??

They said I was trash but now I'm fashionable.

Because ethical production is the absolute darned-sure non-negotiable in the whole Lost Shapes set up, I was quite excited when I saw this 'Salvage' range being developed. (Looks like Immy can hardly contain her excitement either in this photo!)
'Salvage' is made from 100% recycled materials - 60% recycled organic cotton and 40% recycled polyester from plastic bottles. Impressive. But how does it feel?

So I ordered a few to try out, printed them up with some Lost Shapes favourites, and we've being doing some wear tests. With a great range of subtle colours (this is the mid blue, the red is looking pretty striking with our Square Bike Shadow design) in a  fashionable melange blend, they definitely look great. The mix of materials feels fantastic too - the sweatshirts are soft, brushed and fleecy inside, and almost silky on the surface.  Thumbs up! They'll be joining our stocks soon...
