Product information
A new frontier in mindful fashion and sportswear, Nouvelle adopts an upcycling approach where leftover printed silk fabrics are repurposed to create a new insulating material. Nouvelle is created in four steps: we collect as “end of waste” silk fabric scraps from leftover silk fabric rolls, these scraps are garnetted mechanically and transformed into very fine fibres, then we make a decolor process with GOTS approved substances. Finally the fibers are blended with PLA (polylactic fibre).This allows the creation of a very light padding, with unique thermal insulating properties.

Imbotex Srl
Founded in 1955, Imbotex is a leading manufacturer of natural, recycled and technological paddings. Sustainability and innovation are the pillars of our products, from furniture and bedding to fashion and professional sports. The female leadership and the steady eye on new developments have been our hallmarks through time. In 2019 we founded ImbotexLab, NewCo of the Company, focused on advanced insulations functionality with circular economy and sustainability contents. We patented a fully vertical and mechanical process, which includes the collection of discarded virgin material scraps and yarns and is less impactful in terms of energy consumption, water usage and CO₂ emissions.
