This slip-on tunic-style blouse impresses with its comfortable fit and the material used. Ecoalf makes it from pure linen, 20% of which comes from recycled materials. The lightweight yet durable fabric has a fine transparency and a smooth, firm feel. As linen can absorb a lot of moisture and quickly releases it back to the outside, it has a pleasantly cooling effect on the skin in summer temperatures. The blouse has a wide, straight fit with a deep V-neckline and a vertical dividing seam underneath. The hemline is slit and slightly longer at the back than at the front. The width of the sleeve cuffs can be adjusted as desired using a tie ribbon. A box pleat at the back ensures a good fit and even more freedom of movement.

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.
