Mycelium Mushroom T-Shirt

Product Information

Plant-based fibres are biodegradable, vegan and can be grown in a way that protects biodiversity instead of exploiting nature. We have already degraded 33% of the planet and it takes 2,700 litres of water to make one conventional cotton t-shirt – the equivalent of all the water you drink in 2.5 years. Through innovation and investment, we are pioneering alternatives that are safeguarding and even restoring Mother Earth. The Brooklyn setting was a nod to the brand’s roots, a reminder that while it may be a luxury powerhouse, its foundations were laid on the gritty, subversive streets of London and interwoven with punk culture.

The Predator Freak unisex football boot is innovated with vegan DEMONSKIN rubber spikes instead of kangaroo leather. We use this versatile material for everything from ready-to-wear to the linings of sneakers. Since we started using ECONYLⓇ in 2017, we have prevented over 10 tonnes of nylon from going to landfill – reducing our global warming impact by 90% compared to using virgin fibres. These world experts have been recognised with global sustainability certifications and have helped to build a process designed for human health and safety and the lowest environmental impact. This finishing gives Mylo™️ the same luxury look and feel of animal leather, without the noxious chemicals of conventional tanning techniques that harm local communities and ecosystems. ECONYLⓇ uses industrial waste, post-consumer textiles destined for landfill and ocean plastics to create virgin-quality regenerated nylon that feels luxuriously silky and durable. At the end of its life, it can be recycled, remade and remoulded again. In 2020, ECONYLⓇ collaborated with fishermen and divers to collect 75,000 kg of fishing nets from the ocean bed. Using recycled and regenerative nylon reduces the global warming impact of nylon up to 90% compared with virgin materials .

In addition to creating clothing and accessories from cruelty-free alternatives to leather and fur in our collections, we have also partnered with industry giants like adidas on the world’s first vegan Stan Smiths and football boots – the Predator Freak, co-designed by legendary football player Paul Pogba. Proof that collaboration within the fashion industry can create beautiful products that consumers want, and our planet needs. Animal agriculture accounts for approximately 18% of global greenhouse gas emissions and is driving the destruction of vital ecosystems. Plant-based fibres are biodegradable, vegan and can be grown in a way that protects biodiversity instead of exploiting nature.

of the world ’s remaining forests are degraded to some extent as a result of direct human actions . She staged her New York return in the industrial Agger Fish Building in Brooklyn, outside of the confines of the traditional fashion week schedule. Within this most urban of locales, she invited her audience to reconsider their relationship with nature — and with each other. While we are still working with Bolt Threads to innovate and elevate Mylo™️’s durability and quality, we believe we’ve gotten to the root of the solution. It takes 2,700 litres of water to make one conventional cotton t-shirt – the equivalent of 2.5 years’ drinking water. ECONYLⓇ reduces the global warming impact of nylon by up to 90% compared with virgin petroleum-based materials.Every year, 150 million trees are cut down to create clothing – often from ancient and endangered forests. Already, 82% of forests have been degraded by human activities, which alters how they nourish themselves and access water. It also reduces the amount of carbon trees can store, putting it into our atmosphere and driving climate change. Ultimately, it is not only about saving animals’ lives but our own. The future of fashion –and our planet– is cruelty-free. Vegan fashion is already desirable – and making a difference. In selling over 1 million of our iconic Falabella bags, we have helped save up to 400,000 cows’ lives and countless more animals by not contributing towards biodiversity loss.

Cotton was first used as fabric in Peru in 6000 BCE. Now, it is grown on farms globally and employs over 250 million people. Thousands of years of innovation have led to regenerative cotton. Cruelty-free alternatives are significantly better for the planet. In fact, our vegan materials have an environmental impact that is up to 24 times lower than conventional animal leather. Moving towards an animal-free fashion industry is essential for saving all of our skins if we want to end the climate crisis.We collaborated with adidas to produce the first-ever 100% recyclable hoodie made from garment waste using Evrnu’s NuCycl™. Mycelium has become quite the star in fashion circles. “The future of fashion is fungi,” according to California’s start-up MycoWorks, which has produced a vegan, mycelium-based leather, trademarked as Sylvania, that has been used to make a new Hermes bag. Currently, their harvest yields about 60,000 metres of cotton fabric a week – enough to make 40,000 shirts. That’s the equivalent of you wearing a new t-shirt daily for almost 110 years. And SÖKTAŞ is doubling that output annually.
