The a-ha moment
A global quest for sustainable fibres culminated in a serendipitous coffee meeting in Melbourne, the unofficial coffee-drinking capital of Australia. Who knew that fabric made from recycled coffee grounds could be the game-changer we were seeking? Collaborating with our mills, we embarked on an extraordinary journey to create a sustainable fabric from discarded plastic bottles and coffee grounds.
