The message of the project
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail from mulesing-free Italian merino wool and produced exclusively in the EU, the partners (Portance x Garlita) present an exceptional piece of activewear that seamlessly combines fashionable style with technology-driven design and ultimate comfort.
The idea behind the project
It is the first jacket on the European market with sustainable FUZE™ anti-odor technology and YKK®’s TouchLink® Technology. This means that an NFC chip integrated into the jacket’s zipper puller will enable a digital wearer experience. Users can explore the jacket’s supply chain, track their sport activities, or play their favorite Spotify playlist with a simple smartphone tap on the MerinoTech zipper.
