Ventile has teamed up with outdoor brand Cévène to support the launch of the brand’s debut collection. The collaboration marks a key milestone in championing environmentally responsible innovation within the textile and fashion industries.

It includes the Ventile Hooded Travel Jacket 360, a year-round hooded jacket engineered to be worn as a summer outer layer or as a winter middle layer and crafted from Ventile organic. This sits alongside the Waterproof Ventile Windbreaker 200, a breathable rainproof jacket also built from Ventile organic, with double-layer reinforcements at cthe hest and shoulders.

“We are thrilled to support the team at Cévène on the launch of its new brand,” said Ventile brand director Daniel Odermatt “Its philosophy is rooted in the Seven Generations Principle, which considers impact over the next 140 years. That’s something which deeply resonates with what we do at Ventile, meeting the needs of the present without compromising future generations.”

Cévène is 100% plastic-free, sitting among the 0.1% of brands that use zero plastic and exclusively 100% single-material fabrics. Its collections are built the use of only natural fibres, uncompromising eco-design, no hazardous blends, fully biodegradable materials and a reduced environmental footprint.

“Fashion and textile fairs often showcase the industry’s rich traditions, but they also highlight the need for innovation, especially in addressing pressing environmental challenges,” said co-founder of Cévène, Renaud Martel. “We’re excited to contribute to this evolving landscape.

“Through our commitment to sustainable, biodegradable materials and eco-conscious practices, we aim to demonstrate that fashion can seamlessly blend beauty, functionality and environmental responsibility.”

Ventile fabric was developed in England in the 1940s, originally designed to save the lives of pilots flying over the Atlantic in wartime England. In the cockpit, Ventile proved cool and comfortable, whilst in the water, it proved warm and impenetrable – extending survival times. Ventile suits are still worn by pilots of various air forces and the company now offers a range of PFC-free fabrics including 100% recycled cotton and fabrics blended with hemp.
