MATERIAL STORY

ACCESSORIES & TRIMS

Usually, you get the view on the latest accessory innovations and trends live at the PERFORMANCE WALL on PERFORMANCE DAYS because it is very important to touch accessories and trims, to feel their haptics in order to be inspired.

There have been a lot of approaches towards more sustainable accessories and trims in the last few year. In this newsletter we would like to share with you the latest innovative sustainable developments even if it must be virtually.

Be prepared for some unexpected new opportunities and enjoy impulses such as fish or apple leather patches, recycled silicone transfer, polypropylene zipper, zipper with heat sealed recycled reflective, recycled nylon in cord stops, recycled PU in trim, biodegradable tapes and recycled paper hangtags.
