This coat combines modern chic with high functionality. Just like the lining and the filling, the outer fabric is made entirely from recycled polyester. The filling is PrimaLoft®, a down-like material that insulates effectively against the cold and is feather-light and water-repellent. Outwardly positioned cross-stitched seams ensure that the warming filling stays in place permanently. The dense outer fabric, the large hood with drawstring, the two-way zipper that closes high up to the chin and elasticated cuffs provide good protection against wind and weather. Two zippered slit pockets and two inside pockets with Velcro fasteners offer plenty of space for small everyday items.

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.
