Our Focus
When we started designing what would eventually become our Márta jacket we set 3 non-negotiables
The fabric is high-performing and 100% recycled
Our manufacturing partner is BSCI compliant
Our jackets don’t contribute to unnecessary waste
After much searching we found an incredible textile manufacturer based in Japan. They have developed a number of fabrics that are used by leading winter sport and mountaineering brands. After testing a number of fabrics, we landed on one that has an optimal balance of waterproofing, breathability and durability. It is made of a 100% recycled polyester yarn that has a slight stretch and is soft to the touch. This ensures you stay dry and comfortable in the harshest of Northern European weather.
Good fortune led us to our manufacturing partner, J Caetano. They are based outside the beautiful city of Porto where they work with industry leaders such as Arc’teryx and Fjallraven. They are BSCI compliant and adhere to the highest manufacturing standards. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner!
Our final goal is both exciting and challenging. Too often, clothes with so much life left to live end up in landfill due to a lack of effective repair or recycling options. We have started working with independent designers to create a line of accessories that can be built using parts of our existing outerwear line. We will arrange shipping for you so you can send your damaged jacket back to us. Once we have the jacket at our HQ, we can start recycling any undamaged fabric and integrating it into our “New Life” line of outerwear accessories. To say thank you, we will send you a 10% discount for your next purchase!
