Ladies long jacket

Outer material and lining of this classically cut coat are made entirely of recycled polyester. In the filling, 43% down and 7% feathers are added, which increases the warming effect even more. Since the filling is only quilted to the inside, the coat looks smooth from the outside. Drawstrings at the hood and waist level allow for width adjustment. An integrated, removable mouth-nose guard shields part of the face when it storms. There is a wide buttonable panel over the zipper, and knit cuffs in the sleeve openings effectively keep the wind out there as well. In addition, the coat is equipped with two front flap pockets and an inside pocket with cable routing for headphones. And finally, two sewn-in black straps allow the coat, which is not dressed, to be worn on the back like a backpack.

The Spaniard Javier Goyeneche has found a personal way to counter the waste of raw materials in our throwaway society – with creative ideas. In 2012, his label started producing fashion from recycled fibres. Then he initiated the revolutionary Ecoalf Ocean Project: More than 3,000 fishermen along the Spanish coast enlisted to help recover plastic waste from the sea. Goyeneche has the residues transformed into high-quality yarns for clothes, shoes and accessories. A similar project started in Thailand in 2017. Recycling all-natural textile fibres, namely cotton and wool, is another objective on Ecoalfs to-do list. Finally, the label mastered the challenge of finding new uses for old car tyres.
