With multicolored flock, zero water printing, chenille, and metallic effects, the company is at the forefront in establishing a responsible lace supply chain Legend has it that a sailor brought his beloved seaweed from distant seas as a gift. The woman, wanting to preserve its beauty, replicated the design and holes with needle and thread. And solace was born. Since that moment, lace has lived within the walls of churches and castles, visited race tracks and catwalks, changing shape and color according to seasons and times.
Among the companies involved in writing a new chapter in the history of lace, Iluna Group definitely stands out. Founded in 1970 from the idea of its founder Luigi Annovazzi, over the years Iluna has been able to respond to the challenges posed by the market in terms of technology and sustainability, transforming them into opportunities for growth and becoming a virtuous example to be followed by the entire supply chain. A spokesperson for aesthetic and responsible innovation in the lace industry, since 2017 Iluna has been using only sustainable and certified ROICA™ stretch yarns from the ROICA Eco-Smart™ family, while the percentage of sustainable references has risen from 3% in 2018 to 52% in 2021. When numbers matter.
From athleisure to fashion, via underwear, from sarongs to bodysuits, through the evening and bridal gowns, up to the world of denim and high fashion, Iluna’s lace continues to expand its applications, confirming its extreme versatility, remarkable performance, and inimitable beauty. Trends run and pass quickly, but Iluna lace remains a certainty in all its forms, variations, and colors. There are four main proposals presented by Iluna Group during Milano Unica:
Flock in flounce or allover entirely made with recycled ingredients and equipped with endless printing possibilities, with 3D and multicolor effects that allow the inclusion in fashion, underwear, and athleisure looks. All certified GRS (Global Recycled Standard).
Continued investment in both the Green Label and Bioline, two collections totally dedicated to innovative and responsible aesthetics. Both include lace made with the responsible 6.6 polyamide yarn Amni Soul Eco® and the degradable stretch fiber ROICA™ V550, combined with natural vegetable dyes with OEKO TEX and GOTS certifications. Lace by Iluna Group with a chenille yarn mixed with Renycle®
The union of a chenille yarn blended with FSC-certified viscose and Renycle® yarn, a product obtained by recycling nylon 6, a
high-value material with excellent strength, dyeing, softness, and versatility, gives life to surprising new Textronic. The embossed designs with 3D effects create a cloud effect that, combined with Lurex, gives unexpected glows.
GRS-certified tulles printed with GREEN DROP technology, the new GOTS-certified digital pigment printing system, with lower
energy consumption and low water waste, thanks to an internal closed-circuit process for water recycling.
The novelties are shown at Milano Unica confirm Iluna’s commitment to creating products with a high level of creative design and environmental responsibility thanks to a technological and corporate system that covers the entire perimeter of production, from materials to processing, dyeing, and finishing. An industrial reality always ready to share its skills and knowledge in terms of aesthetics and innovation, Iluna recognizes the importance of working as a system for the future of the lace world. Continuing to share the idea of the economic and sustainable restart, the company will present all its latest innovations at the next edition of Milano Unica, at stand F10 pad. 16.
