Building a better future for the planet

For 2018, AWDis combines sustainability and fashion, by welcoming Écologie by AWDis into its brand family. Écologie’s mission is to build a better future for the planet, without compromising on style, through the use of ecologically friendly cotton sources.

This exciting new range features regenerated products, created from pre-consumer cotton, collected from the offcuts of the garment industry. This is reprocessed using an innovative technique, involving no additional water or chemicals, back into yarn ready for knitting and weaving.

Écologie’s T shirt range features 100% organic tees for men and women, including the EA001 Cascades Tee and EA001F Cascades Ladies Tee, which are not only fashionable but also kind to the environment. Available in 10 bright and bold colours, these tees boast a luxurious soft hand feel and look great on their own, or make an excellent base for prints or embroidery.

For anyone seeking a unique branding base, the unisex EA003 Tulum Tee is not just your average tee. Using a blend of regenerated pre-consumer cotton waste, the Tulum tee is both great for the planet while also offering the wearer with a stylish fashion fit. This tee uses a combination of coloured yarn to produce a striking marl effect.

Highly brandable

Écologie also introduces an exciting line of sweaters in a variety of colours and finishes. The EA030 Banff Sweatshirt is a sustainable yet highly brandable product, crafted from 70% regenerated cotton. The French Terry and angled styling on the cuffs separate this sweatshirt from the crowd, while the fashionable unisex fit has universal appeal. A similar style, the new EA033 Galapagos Sweatshirt uses a combination of coloured yarn to produce a striking marl effect, with solid contrast details at the cuffs and collar.

For knitwear fans, EA060 Arenal Knit Sweater is a lightweight, understated yet stylish jersey knit sweater. The unisex fashion fit, and modern features such as rolled detail at collar, cuffs and hem, make this a contemporary option that can be worn in both relaxed and formal situations. The use of regenerated cotton means that it’s doing its bit for the planet while remaining young and fresh. Also made from regenerated cotton, with a jersey knit construction, the EA061 Wakhan 1/4 Zip Knit Sweater is another fantastic knitwear option, perfect for when there is a chill in the air.

Make a statement

If you need to make statement, look no further than the EA080 Iguazu Knitted Hoody, featuring a chunky tuck stitch, with ribbed cuff and hem. The hood with drawcords is designed to keep you warm outdoors, making it the perfect choice for getting close to nature. This rugged hoody also works towards a more sustainable planet, using 70% regenerated cotton.

Other hoodies in the range include the EA040 Lusaka Hoody, which adds a sustainable twist to clean modern hoody styling. A sustainable superstar, EA051 Okavango Zoody also allows the wearer to keep cosy and warm whilst helping the planet. A luxuriously soft zoody, this style is made from 70% regenerated cotton, and finished with a brushed inner surface, and peached outer surface. Contrast colour details make this zoody look just a good on as it feels wearing it.
