Fabrics and certifications
As you know, at Neu de Cotó we take sustainability and transparency very seriously, which is why we created this page to inform you about the traceability of our work and our products.
We'll also tell you where the different types of fabrics come from, the pros and cons of each one in terms of both sustainability and style, and you'll understand why we only choose sustainable fabrics.
Pure art-health
Certificate of craftsmanship
In 2024, we were accredited as artisans, and after extensive experience in the textile world, we can proudly say that we are now certified as such.
Sustainable fabrics
Each product contains its ingredients. Here's where we explain its origin and certifications. If you have any questions, please contact us and we'll answer them as soon as possible.
Organic cotton
The most common material in our garments, it provides breathability, is very soft and durable.
What makes it different from regular cotton?
Natural practices such as crop rotation or animal manure are used for its cultivation.
Pest control is achieved using 100% biological methods, such as native pests or insects.
Finally, it is harvested by hand to avoid defoliants like those used on conventional cotton.
Cupro
Cupro is a silky-feeling fiber derived from the cotton plant, from the soft fluff that surrounds the seed. The fiber is cleaned of all impurities and converted into cellulose.
It's very breathable and drapes beautifully. It also adapts to the body very easily, so we use this material to make very comfortable garments.
It is also very sustainable as it is made from cotton industry waste and is biodegradable.
EcoVero Viscose
Made from purified cellulose, it is produced from wood pulp.
Ecovero is manufactured using sustainable wood from controlled sources, FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) or PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Scheme) certified in Europe.
They do not come from monoculture (as is the case with bamboo or eucalyptus) but rather from sustainable forestry.
It generates up to 50% less emissions and impact on water resources compared to generic viscose.
Recycled cotton
It is made from textile scraps left over from manufacturing processes or from used clothing.
To improve their strength, they are crushed and mixed with other types of fibers, such as organic cotton.
Recycled cotton is one of the most sustainable fibers. No soil or water is needed to produce the fiber again.
Finally, no chemicals are used in fiber processing.
Linen
Very special fabric with a very nice drape
DEAD STOCK TEXTILE
We recover fabrics that are preserved in their original packaging and are in good condition, but have gone out of stock or are simply leftover material from large productions. Many of these fabrics lack information about their composition. Quality fabrics that would otherwise end up in landfills.
Their price, often per kilo, and the limited quantities available without replenishment mean that searching for them is like getting lost in a labyrinth, only to discover true gems. Making a good selection of these fabrics requires preparation, knowing precisely through testing how the garment we're making will react, its resistance, and durability.
