In its current collection Schoeller Collection puts a major focus on ecorepel, the fluorocarbon free finishing technology for water and dirt repellence.

The collection also features cotton or linen blends in rich shades or refreshing Cool Fabrics in the colours of the ocean set accents. Different graphic cut-outs and micro designs lend structure throughout the collection.

Ecology, sustainability and naturalness are the grand themes of the current Schoeller Collection. Biodegradable, abrasion and wash resistant, the ecorepel ecological high-tech finish is said to enhance diverse Schoeller fabrics.

Nature and function

Warm greens, beiges, oranges and yellows, as well as the shades of the sky and the sea dominate the collection. Authentic, functional woollen fabrics flow and fall softly.

The light, stone-grey schoeller-shapemélange versions are said to make a fascinating impact with a tone-in-tone glen check print and, thanks to energear technology, the bi-elastic, rustic double fabric is said to provide the extra energy kick.

Among other fabrics featuring the collection are the colourful schoeller-WB-400 wool tweeds in royal blue and khaki and the wool crêpe in vibrant orange with petrol fleece on the reverse.

Structures and impressions

According to Schoeller, surprise effects are also created with the functional schoeller-spirit linen and cotton blends featuring different microstructures.

All airily light and down proof, they are said to offer trendy protection from wind and weather thanks to ecorepel and, in some cases, an additional c_change-climate membrane. A fascinating look is also created by variously-sized dots on schoeller-WB-400-soft-shells with contrasting reverse.

Cool Fabrics

A cool effect is achieved by the new Cool Fabrics from Schoeller. schoeller-dryskin fabric in a juicy lemon shade with additional coldblack heat and UV protection as well as 3XDRY feelgood technology are designed to keep the wearer pleasantly cool on warm days or in hectic situations.

According to the company, Cool Fabrics also offer  outstanding ventilation and a cool touch, for example, in case of the light schoeller-WB-400 double face in petrol/beige or beige/white or a smooth, crosswise-elastic schoeller- shape fabric in sophisticated navy blue.

Cuts and volume

Various laser cuts have a technical look and feature a range of graphic patterns. For example, the schoeller-WB-400 doubleface in matt khaki/beige, or a shiny or aluminum-coated schoeller-spirit in refreshing mint green.

Inspiration for experimental ideas is also offered by the unusual schoeller-spirit Spacer fabrics in vibrant colours, finished with the ecological ecorepel technology.
