Saltyco, last year's winner of the eco-conscious Vogue YOOX Challenge, has partnered with 8 by YOOX to launch a cozy winter collection consisting of garments made from "plant-positive" textiles.
Saltyco is a material science company specializing in vegan fabrics that are "watered by seawater and grown in dry and salty regions." Part of the company's mission statement is to rethink fashion's production process, particularly by promoting the use of saltwater in manufacturing to preserve the world's freshwater.
The new collaborative collection features Saltyco's innovative Biopuff material, a plant-based filling that can be used to replace traditional animal or petroleum-based down. In addition, the new material is grown in wetlands through regenerative agriculture. Within the capsule, Biopuff is used to fill stylish quilted jackets, matching quilted pants, and a padded tote bag.
