WOLFORD and ROICA are growing their smart working partnership with their latest high-tech hosiery and lingerie prototype with more responsible contemporary values, which will be on display at Avantex in Paris, from 6-9 February. This innovation has been designed with a mix of the eco-based materials. A Modal cellulosic and the Infinito bio-polymer have been combined with a special ROICA smart stretch yarn, which at its end-of-life degrades without releasing any harmful substances, as certified by Hohenstein Environmental Compatibility Certificate.
