Untouch Me!
Date: October 20, 2008 | Category: Accessories, Fashion, Jewelry, Men, Women
Finally a line of menswear that won’t leave an eco-inclined hipster behind. Untouched World’s men’s collection boasts a line of clothing cool enough to convert even the least conscience guy.
The company’s casual sportswear line caters to both men and women, with the menswear collection significantly smaller, but impressive nonetheless. The eco-conscious fella can choose from a selection of sustainably-designed graphic t-shirts, jeans, knitwear, coats and jackets, made from sustainable materials like felted wool and the company’s trademarked organic Mountainsilk.
Meanwhile, our lovely ladies are of course attended to. We are all wrapped up with their stunning awaroa wrap and a fabulous wrap dress. Untouched World also offers jewelry, accessories, and a yoga collection.
Besides raising awareness about sustainable fashion, textiles such as the highly intriguing Ecopossum, are bound to raise a fair share of eyebrows, especially among vegans. Ecopossum, one of Untouched World’s signature fabrics, blends merino wool with brushtail possum fiber, resulting in a yarn similar in feel to cashmere and boasting the manufacturer’s promise that it will not pill. The patented blend was created by Untouched World’s parent company Snow Peak.
Not to be confused with the North American opossum, apparently the brushtail possum is an enemy of the environment in New Zealand and responsible for devouring 17,000 metric tons of vegetation every single night! Experts believe the possums will kill entire forests through defoliation within the next 20 years if left unchecked.
