CARVICO
JERSEY LOMELLINA
Green performance
Carvico and Jersey Lomellina have never underestimated
the emergence of new awareness regarding climatic changes.
To the contrary, this phenomenon has been carefully studied
and analyzed, leading to the discovery of alternative solutions,
qualifying the company as ecologically responsible and
its fabrics 100% recycled and recyclable. It’s unique passion
and devotion to its products and processes has led Carvico
and Jersey Lomellina to use recycled yarns, annual collaborations
with the brands that produce these fine yarns
(such as Aquafil with Econyl, the 100% recycled polyamide
fiber), participation in important international projects,
like Healthy Seas, a Journey from Waste to Wear, aimed at
protecting the seas from the hazard of discarded and lost
fishing nets, the creation of 100% green fabrics with the
goal of promoting sustainable fashion in Italy. A clear idea
thus emerges of the extent to which Carvico and Jersey
Lomellina are committed to eliminating or, at least, significantly
limiting the utilization of certain hazardous chemical
substances, improving the existing manufacturing
processes in order to foster greater efficiency, publishing
pertinent certified environmental data, reducing wastes,
seeking out eco-sustainable primary materials and creating
company activities aimed at mindful and sustainable
development.
VITA by Carvico has already managed to distinguish itself
and make a name for itself over the last three years in this
part of the world as one of the most cutting-edge, versatile,
water-resistant, fine, elegant elastic and wonderfully soft
eco-fabrics, boasting an ecological soul. To the considerable
tune of 78% it is composed of Econyl polyamide, but
this does not mean having to forego any high-tech performance
benefits. The two new versions are called VITA Power
and VITA Suede. VITA Power is stronger, more substantial,
boasting greater weight and exceptional. It is soft, vaunting a
pleasant feel, compact and breathable, with an elevated level
of elasticity and optimal shape recovery properties. When it
comes to comfort and fit considerations, this yarn is absolutely
perfect. In addition, just like VITA, the Power version
is resistant to unsightly pilling and the damage caused by
abrasion, while protecting from harmful UV radiation (50+
UPF), all the while ensuring correct muscular compression,
slowing the formation of lactic acid and thereby promoting a
more rapid recovery of top-performance physical condition.
And all of this in conjunction with total freedom of movement.
It is obviously ideal for high-performance athletic
gear. VITA Suede, on the other hand, is opaque, constituting
the brushed or raised version of VITA Power.
It is therefore able to vaunt the same incredible performance
features, but with the addition of a warm feel, an
almost natural, suede-type of effect. This remarkable fabric
actually has a double personality, rich in allure for comfortable
garments, comfortable yet, at the same time, right in
fashion. Revolutional Eco by Carvico, for its part, represents
the sustainable transformation of fabrics belonging to the
historic Evolutional family. All the unmistakable technical
characteristics remain intact, all those wonderful benefits,
such as perfect fit, breathability, comfort and extremely high
levels of muscular compression, but with the addition of a
green soul thanks to the utilization in this case of Econyl.
Moreover, Revolutional Eco shapes the figure without in any
way constricting, guaranteeing exception protection from
harmful UV radiation, resisting pilling and abrasion. It is
nothing short of ideal for garments intended for competition
swimwear, activewear, shapewear and, of course, beachwear.
The Renew recycle family of Jersey Lomellina has been on
the market for years and is at the top in terms of characteristics,
performance and sales. Style Peach has been added to
Renew Prime, Cult and Style.
All of these remarkable products are based on the recycled
Econyl polyamide and all of them are capable of satisfying
(today, more than ever) the numerous technical demands expected
of an athletic fabric. But they all also boast different
packages of characteristics which distinguish them and
make them special. Style Peach is perfect for the creation of
breathable and very comfortable running T-shirts, but may
also be utilized in the athleisure area, thanks to its special
peach-fuzz feel, boasting great warmth and levels of comfort.

EUROSTICK
Hot Colors
Eurostick selected the big Maredimoda Fair in Cannes for
the presentation of a genuinely rich, varied and complete
collection of beachwear for 2019. One of the main themes
of this collection is the ample selection – in keeping with
the current trend toward large, complete and varied collections
– of placed patterns which may be customized for
one-piece swimsuits, beachwear items and T-shirts. Below
you will find new proposals in terms of the colors and combined
with the prints – both in the fabrics for swimsuits as
well as those intended for beachwear – colors that range
from Hot Pink to Poppy Red, from Blue Angel to French
Blue, all the way to the fresh Evergreen. No such collection
would be complete without a line of accessory materials,
designed to recreate a contemporary total look in a harmonious
collage of lace, netting, three-dimensional fabrics
for handbags, colorful terrycloth and printed versions of
the same for beach towels or sporty clothing. And, finally,
there is a series of basic items on which to display the patterns
presented by the same company: from very fancy
fabrics in polyester with extreme fineness and in various
weights (Columbia at 110 g, Amalfi at 140 g and Tenerife
at 180 g, to name just a few of them) to the new fabrics in
polyamide, like Iseo at 125 g, Alaska data 180 g, the printed
velvets, various proposals for beachwear applications,
like the practically weightless Veletta and Nettuno, and an
interesting series of jacquard fabrics and lace. Last but not
least, one must also mention the various treatments found
on the fabrics, everything for plissé effects to transparent
and colored laminate treatment, not to mention the amusing
flocked animalier prints.
