We are proud to share that Victoria’s Secret has selected EcoLactam® nylon for its new SlumberBra™ collection, marking an important step toward lowering the carbon footprint of one of fashion’s most widely used performance fibers.
Nylon remains a key material in intimate apparel because of its softness, strength, and smooth handfeel. Yet its traditional production process is energy intensive. EcoLactam®, developed by Fibrant, addresses that challenge by reducing the carbon footprint of nylon production by up to 70% compared to conventional methods – all while maintaining the comfort and quality designers and consumers expect.
“The future of materials innovation isn’t about trade-offs,” said Giovanni Henssen, Business Development Manager Sustainability at Fibrant. “With EcoLactam®, we’ve proven that it’s possible to combine performance and luxury with a significantly lower environmental impact.”
