The Spanish brand Loewe makes T-shirts from ... orange peel
There is already "leather" made from apples and robust fabrics made from banana plants. Now Loewe is launching a T-shirt made from orange peel.
The harbour city of Catania on the beautiful Mediterranean island of Sicily is home to Orange Fiber, a company founded in 2014. The company does not press and sell litres of fresh succo d'arancia. On the contrary: Orange Fiber does its business with the waste from local juice producers - the orange peel. Around 700,000 tonnes of this is said to be produced throughout Italy every year, and an unimaginable 32 million tonnes worldwide.
Loewe × Orange Fibre
When it comes to exclusive fabrics, the Spanish luxury brand Loewe doesn't take long. And so its range includes a collaboration with Orange Fibre. The «Draped Top», which can best be described as an asymmetrical, double-layered T-shirt, is made partly from the Italian citrus fibre mixed with Tencel, a cellulose fibre obtained from wood from sustainable forestry.
