Iluna Group and the new dimension of beachwear
Iluna Group continues to stand out for its commitment to Research & Development, exploring cutting-edge solutions that combine great design, innovation, always with a low environmental impact. This vision reflects the company’s extensive experience in material knowledge, processing and production techniques, establishing Iluna Group as a leader in promoting these values within the entire lace supply chain.
At MarediModa 2024, the leading fair for the beachwear, lingerie, and athleisure sectors, which will take place in Cannes from November 5th to 7th, Iluna Group will showcase a beachwear collection that perfectly merges aesthetics, innovation, and environmental responsibility.
The collection develops on two main fronts. The first is a fully certified capsule collection dedicated to the beach, made with double-needled Mayer machines. The cover-ups and bikinis in this line are created with 100% recycled solutions thanks to the use of Qnova® and ROICA™ EF, representing a concrete push towards circular fashion.
The second part of the collection features a curated selection of innovative, certified, and sustainable materials. From multicolored lace with iridescent effects to Lurex cords, glossy finishes with GRS-certified laminates, and overprinted effects where everything is in motion. Large-scale floral patterns blend with geometric and marine elements, bringing to life dynamic pieces where nothing is ordinary but always surprising!
And more: stretch macramé and sangallo laces, up to a range of fringed pareos for every occasion, offering versatile and impactful solutions.
Among the most innovative developments, also applicable to beachwear, is a high water-saving GRS-certified print, applied to very fine Lurex nets, which are also certified.
Iluna Group will also launch a new exclusive technology to produce laces, which allows to completely eliminate water consumption, by using an innovative polyamide.
A pioneer company in the field of sustainability and a promoter of continuous research for low-impact environmental solutions and maximum respect for the planet, since 2018 Iluna Group has been GRS certified for its sustainable Green Label range. A collection that proposes a new responsible approach towards the environment and people, combining innovation, aesthetics, and quality at 360°. From the polymer to the finished lace, Iluna is able to guarantee full control and total traceability of the entire production chain, measuring the company’s sustainability growth through the Higgs Index.
Over the years, the company’s share of sustainable production has steadily increased, growing from 3% in 2018 to over 50% in 2022. Since 2016, the company has produced 7.5 million meters of Green Label lace, using 92,810 kg of GRS-certified recycled polyamide, saving 1.5 million liters of water consumption. Recent product innovations include customizable GRS Lurex nets with equally certified prints, special finishes - such as printing and flocking - and materials like organic cotton, FSC-certified mass-dyed viscose, and the premium recycled elastomer ROICA™ EF, from the ROICA™ Eco Smart family.
