Would you like to see circular fashion up close?
We have created some guided tours in collaboration with Cap Viaggi Tour Operator , to discover the companies that deal with textile recycling in Prato.
By participating you will be able to see the cenciaioli up close and find out how scraps and waste can be transformed into new textile resources.
Next appointment:

What you will discover
We asked various companies to open their doors, to offer Textile Tours participants a 360-degree look at the recycling of textile fibers.
The tour includes these stops:
Nuovi Fratelli Boretti company, where you will be able to see the art of cenciaioli up close.
