Which is the most innovative products of your A/W 22-23 collection?
For the next Autumn/Winter collection Thermore has designed the brand new ECODOWN® FIBERS GENIUS, defined with the metaphor of a Swiss Army knife, because similarly to it, it features free fibers with a broad spectrum of functions.

 

What characteristics make

ECODOWN® FIBER GENIUS innovative?
The new Thermore product represents another successful step taken by the company in the field of free-fiber padding for clothing, ranging from high-fashion to sportswear. In particular, Ecodown® Fiber Genius features high-tech free fibers, which are bonded and intertwined, creating a uniform, thermal and resistant layer. It is an extremely versatile product that can be used in multiple styles and designs in the apparel industry. In fact, Ecodown® Fiber Genius can be blown into channels or panels, or manually inserted, as well as being used for custom patterns. 
In addition, another point of strength of Thermore's newest product is its incredible durability and ability to improve over time. In fact, the Ecodown® Fiber Genius thermal fabric prevents the formation of lumps, increasing its insulating power by more than 10% after the first two washes.
 

Is it a sustainable product?
The insulating fabric is 100% sustainable, made from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles, another point of strength that nods at green and environmental sustainability.
 

Do you have a dedicated communication project for Ecodown® Fiber Genius?
We officially presented the fabric to our customers in May 2021 and launched it in the market in June 2021. The presentation of Ecodown® Fibers Genius and of the entire Thermore collection represents a fundamental moment for maintaining customer relationships as well as an opportunity to create new ones with potential customers - always welcome – because this enables us to understand how the market responds to innovative proposals and therefore be ready to anticipate future requests. This calls for direct contact with the press and customers, and also, for instance, through Milano Unica.

 

What buyers is the product addressed to?
The innovative Ecodown® Fiber Genius is a product addressed to a variety of buyers, as it meets the needs of different sectors at the same time. As mentioned above, there are multiple applications and therefore the product is addressed to producers of menswear and womenswear and kidswear, but also manufacturers of sportswear, especially thermal activewear, and those specializing in the production of jackets and coats. 
The product presents various features, including performance, sustainability and the use of recycled and green materials: these are the most important ones, and worth underscoring.  It can be used for daywear items or luxury garments and it also perfect for the design of workwear and durable, warm and thermal items such as outerwear.
