DETAILS

The Raffaella recycled jeans cotton sweater is made by combining different colors: two threads of Baltic blue and one thread of Mediterranean blue to create a salt and pepper effect. The open neckline of the Raffaella sweater rests delicately on the shoulders, enhancing the neck.

  • Links Stitch
  • Round neck
  • Weight: 310 gr

COMPOSITION: 80% recycled jeans, 15% natural cotton and 5% other fibres. What are other fibres? The yarns from hems and other trimmings in old recycled garments that cannot be traced.

WASHING CARE: The denim yarn of our sweaters behaves similarly to that of classic trousers. After a few wear, you can bring it back to the original form by washing it at 30 °. If you decide to wash it by hand, firstly make a light centrifuge to drain the water, then dry it in a natural way by lying it on a horizontal bord: this yarn is very subject to stretching due to the weight of water.

ORIGIN

Raffaella recycled jeans sweater is knitted by Lena and Bruno, who are located 10 km from our showroom. Denim yarns recycled in Prato.

The recycled yarns we use are certified.

How to wear it

Raffaella is a woman cotton sweater for women perfect for mid-season. Basic but with a very particular texture given even from the jeans yarn, it enhances even the simplest of outfits. It can be worn outside the trousers, or inside with a belt for a sophisticated final effect.

How it was made

Raffaella is made from old jeans, transformed into two new yarn colors: Atlantic blue and Mediterranean blue.

To obtain the "signalless television effect", we used two dark and one light colored yarns, which are joined together in the weaving randomly. This process makes Raffaella's recycled denim sweater a very special one-off piece.

Environmental Impact

To make each Rifò denim garment we estimate that they have been recycled from two to five pairs of old jeans consuming only 80 liters of water, against the 3000 required by an identical virgin cotton garment. The result is a reduction of roughly 87% water consumption, 77% energy and 93% CO2.

Who made it

Rifò recycled jeans sweaters are really a 0 miles production. They are made by Lena and Bruno, in their family factory, 12 km from us. Their knitwear is now specialized in the use of recycled yarns, which give them a lot of satisfaction.
