Our Headoniste caps enhance exceptional fabrics 30 October 2020 - Published in: Headoniste values

At Headoniste, we favor short circuits whenever possible. Our exceptional fabrics are French or Italian. We use recycled materials for the labels, as well as on some of our fabrics, such as woollens.

We choose committed partners who favour natural materials andeco-responsibility, guaranteeing complete traceability of their products.

Our exceptional fabrics Jacquards

Jacquard is not a fabric, but a weaving technique that can be used to create all kinds of patterns. The fabric is obtained by interweaving threads arranged in the warp (vertical threads) and those arranged in the weft (horizontal threads).

The embossed weave of the patterns increases the thickness and strength of the materials and gives them the elegance and nobility typical of this technique. The fabric does not wrinkle and is easy to maintain.

However, some jacquards are woven wider to give a more rustic and traditional feel to the fabric, so it is advisable to be careful with your rings ladies, which may catch on the material.

Our jacquard fabrics are made in the Rhône-Alpes region, in the tradition of Lyonnais weaving.

Our exceptional wool fabrics

We choose the finest wools for their exceptional properties: thermoregulating, breathable, absorbent and hygienic.

Our wools are recyclable, reusable and biodegradable.

They come from Merino sheep from Australia and New Zealand, countries of wool excellence where the fineness of the fibres allows for softer and lighter fabrics.

Our fabrics are manufactured in partner companies of the CCMI (Cashmere and Camel Hair Manufacturers Institute), which works to verify and defend noble fibres (cashmere, mohair, alpaca) and fine or superfine wool (via the Superfine Wool Council).

Our recycled wool fabrics

Headoniste pays special attention to ecology and offers recycled wool.

They are made from a minimum of 60% recycled fibres and retain the same characteristics as new fibres, their quality is optimal and identical to new fabrics.

We chose the Prato region in Italy because it has been home to manufacturers who have specialised in the regeneration of wool and other textiles for centuries, and their technique is unique in the world.

Furthermore, the environmental impact of the recycling technology is minimal. All waste water and waste generated is disposed of according to the rules recommended by the EEC. The process does not introduce any CO2 into the environment. Thanks to the recycling of textile fibres, thousands of tons of fabric are not disposed of as waste but are reintroduced into the production cycle, preserving the environment and reducing toxic emissions from incinerators. In addition, the use of recycled wool reduces land use requirements for sheep grazing.
