Woolrich and Griffin work in collaboration for the Fall/Winter 2019 season with a collection of sustainable outerwear designs that are ready for the outdoors. The joint effort cuts down its waste production by highlighting the water consumption as well.
They use 60% organic cotton materials along with 40% recycled nylon materials that are designed with printing methods instead of coloration to further reduce the imprint. The highlighting piece made from this process is the reversible parka that has a zipper enclosure at the sides -- it can also transform into a poncho shell as well. The duo also entirely uses recycled polyester ripstop throughout the capsule, with 40% of the fabrication gathered from 1,500 Spanish fishermen.
