Who We Are
We are a community of mindful individuals who value what we own. We choose quality over excess and make responsible decisions when we buy. We champion products made with ECONYL® nylon, crafted through processes that minimize environmental impact and uphold ethical production and fair labor practices.
We are committed to reducing our impact on the earth. We believe in making things last—repairing what’s broken, extending the life of our clothes, and donating what we no longer use to those in need. We support companies that communicate their environmental and social impact with transparency and authenticity.
We believe education is the key to making informed choices. Every day, we empower brands and shoppers with meaningful information and details, making it easier to make more conscious choices.
What brought us here
It all began in 2011 when Aquafil introduced the ECONYL® Regeneration System—a groundbreaking innovation that transforms waste into high-performing nylon without relying on fossil fuels. Discarded fishing nets, old carpets, and fabric scraps that would otherwise pollute the planet are collected worldwide and regenerated into ECONYL® nylon, delivering the same quality and same performance as standard nylon.
"Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean."
This circular process allows nylon to be endlessly recycled, creating new materials infinitely and without the reliance on oil.
Today, ECONYL® nylon is used by almost 2,000 brands worldwide from luxury fashion and sporting brands to interiors and automotive. We believe using more responsible ingredients like ECONYL® nylon in products can help reduce our impact. To make this vision a reality, we need your support.
✔️ Why It Matters:
ECONYL® regenerated nylon is a game-changer. It helps divert waste, conserve resources, and reimagine design. The result? High-quality, durable solutions with less harm to the planet.
🔎 Where You'll Find It:
From swimwear to sneakers, carpets, chairs and car interiors—ECONYL® nylon is everywhere. By choosing products made responsibly you contribute to a world with less waste and more circular solutions.
