For this edition, great visibility is given to the range of sustainable fabrics, made with NATIVE Sustainable Textiles technology, obtained from GRS certified recycled yarns produced with chemicals with low environmental impact and with a lower consumption of natural resources.

SITIP PRESENTS THE MOST INNOVATIVE FABRICS AND SOME “INSPIRATIONAL” ITEMS FOR COMPANIES

Among the absolute novelties, Sitip exhibits some fabrics ideal for leggings and tights:

• COSMOPOLITAN BROOKLYN (150 gr), COSMOPOLITAN LONDON (150 gr) and COBRA 40 POWER, this one also available in EMBOSSED version (215 gr), with ECLIPSE Sun Protection technology that protects from UV rays (UPF 50+), with no-see-through effect, stretch and comfortable on the skin thanks to MICROSENSE Soft Performance technology;

• in sustainable version, created with NATIVE Sustainable Textiles range: NATIVE-COSMOPOLITAN SYDNEY (130 gr), NATIVE-COSMOPOLITAN OSLO (225 gr), NATIVE-COSMOPOLITAN PARIS (170 gr), all equipped with ECLIPSE Sun Protection technology that protects from UV rays (UPF 50+), with no-see-through effect, stretch and comfortable on the skin thanks to MICROSENSE Soft Performance technology.

For sporty and urbanwear knitwear, Sitip exhibits:

• EMBOSSED NATIVE-INSTINCT GZ (180 gr) absolute novelty, thermoregulating GRS certified fabric made of pre-consumer recycled yarns from the NATIVE Sustainable Textiles line, 4- way stretch, breathable, pilling resistant, easy care and comfortable, with ECLIPSE Sun Protection and MICROSENSE Soft Performance technologies;

• finally COSMOPOLITAN CITYLIFE (175 gr) for the jacket and COSMOPOLITAN MILANO (120 gr) for the shirt.

Sitip at Milano Unica exhibits on the stand an innovation for the contemporary man: the man’s polo-shirt made with the TEE-TIME fabric, originally created for golf shirts and now relaunched for urbanwear, to perfectly interpret the concept of transversality and multifunctionality that inspires the Innovation section.

And for the contemporary woman, from sportswear to urbanwear and as casual and trendy clothing, Sitip offers leggings made with COSMOPOLITAN LONDON - stretch, no-see-through effect, breathable, with UV protection (UPF 50+) with ECLIPSE Sun Protection, perfect fit and absolutely comfortable on the skin - combined with top and sweatshirt in NATIVE-INSTINCT GZ (from the NATIVE Sustainable Textiles range, therefore GRS certified and made with pre-consumer recycled yarns), stretch, breathable, thermoregulating, no-see-through effect and with UV protection (UPF 50+). Protection from sun’s rays is guaranteed on both fabrics by the ECLIPSE Sun Protection technology, while the soft and comfortable touch on the skin is ensured by the MICROSENSE Soft Performance technology.
