The coming together of two Made in Italy textile centres of excellence, Eurojersey, leader in technical stretch Sensitive Fabrics, and Lanificio Reda, synonymous with technological innovation and sustainability, has given birth to a new lifestyle concept for comfortable and versatile garments that are pleasant to wear, like a second skin, perfect in urban contexts.

The fabric exhibits a functional and contemporary look that blends fashion and performance made with fabric from the Sensitive Fabrics’ range bonded with Reda Active Merino wool. Breathable, thermoregulating and soft touching, it ensures a dynamic fit with the guarantee of optimal comfort at all times of day. A tailored-made style, perfectly balanced between comfort and practicality thanks to its functional and versatile features.

Sensitive Fabrics is a coordinated system of technical stretch fabrics, the result of an innovative technology patented by Eurojersey. The unique structure of nylon with elastomeric fibre provides unrivalled performance. The Reda Active fabric used is a merino wool jersey that stands out for its comfort, softness, elasticity, odour absorption and breathability.

The bonding of the two fabrics gives rise to a new innovative product enhanced by a finishing that ensures greater breathability and quick drying of the material: this is a bio-wicking treatment based on a hydrophilic agent extracted from oil plant seeds.

Founded in 1960, Eurojersey Spa, a Carvico Group company, represents in the field of warp-knitted technical fabrics the style and creativity of Made in Italy interpreted by Sensitive Fabrics, chosen by the leading brands in the clothing, sportswear, swimwear and lingerie sectors. The Company is at the top of the world textile industry thanks to a state-of-the-art factory designed by the famous architect Antonio Citterio and represents a unique example of efficiency and productivity. An area of 40,000 square metres, with a team of 250 people and a unique plant with a completely vertical cycle, from knitting to dyeing, finishing and printing. Eurojersey has an annual production capacity of 13 million metres of fabric.
