Vicunha upped regenerative cotton content for Kingpins
Brazilian denim producer Vicunha presented what it described as an expanded and evolved line-up of regenerative cotton denims at Kingpins Show in Amsterdam in October.
Several of the fabrics had initially been made exclusively for the European market, Vicunha explained, ranging from true denim to denim-coloured textiles. They are now also available for customers in Brazil and elsewhere in Latin America, it added. Three of the company’s factories in the north-east now possess Control Union-approved Regenagri certification.
Vicunha expects to produce 15% of its denim fabrics with regenerative-grown cotton within the next five years, representing a fivefold increase on current levels.
“By expanding our offerings and progressively producing more fabrics with regenerative cotton, which will, in turn, be utilised by major brands, Vicunha plays a pivotal role in the fashion supply chain and promoting more conscious consumption,” said supply chain director, Dawid Wijs.
The manufacturer's Kingpins showcase included fabric collections Regen, Eco Now, Fit and Flex, Eco Natural and Y2K-inspired Timeless.
