A deep-rooted understanding of the end use of our products is key to our approach, but this is only one step in the design process. Creating things to last is a founding principle of ARTILECT, because making fewer things that last longer is the ultimate sustainability platform.
We are bringing world-first technologies to create apparel that is easily repairable by the user, with the launch of the world first repairable YKK zippers. If your zip fails you can easily fix it and be back in action in no time. No need to package the product up and send it back to us to repair, saving on transport miles and the product being discarded.
ARTILECT are very proud to be one of the first performance apparel brands to be completely PFA/PFC free in our fabrics, with no ePTFE, C6 DWR, or other “forever chemicals” to be found in our shells, insulations, or linings.
We carefully consider and select our raw material and fabric partners, working closely with them to create long lasting, sustainable performance apparel.
