Prototipo 02.03

FABRIC DESCRIPTION

Fabric made in recycled silk, a fabric that has a lot of beneficial qualities. It is a lightweight and breathable fabric. Indeed, the fiber is flexible and its elasticity allows it to pull itself back into shape after stretching. Silk is a fairly absorbent fabric. Although, water does weaken the fibers so treat your Resilk blouse carefully when washing. Lastly, silk is fast drying which makes it highly practical when managing laundry.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

hand wash in cold water

CRAFTING DETAILS

A sartorial blouse in Italian recycled silk. This is a statement item that is representative of the Archive section on the Prototipo Store. We were inspired by the design of utilitarian shirts for this Resilk blouse. Mantero’s Resilk is an Italian patent (from start to finish a Made in Italy process) that obtains a new fabric from the silk waste. The extracted fiber is certified according to Global Recycle Standard. The buttons are made from titanium – a fully biocompatible, non-toxic material. Titanium is also resistant to corrosion in sea water, aqua regia, and chlorine. The macramè embroidery is entirely made with 100% undyed hemp yarn

The labels inside the Resilk blouse are both made of cotton: the Prototipo logo is embroidered with cotton thread, while the washing instructions are printed on a cotton label. Kindly note that the rough effect of this label is a stylistic choice.

PLEASE NOTE

Italian sourcing is preferred, Italian crafting is mandatory
