Petra Design

This is everybody’s world. We are committed to making things the right way not the easy way. From yarn sourcing to final delivery, we choose ethical and sustainable partners. We make everything in Italy from a selection of environmentally friendly materials.

Recycled polyester Widely available and made from reclaimed PET bottles, it does not require new petroleum to be extracted and thus reduces CO₂ emissions by 75% with respect to virgin polyester. It is very lightweight, water repellent and quick-dry, colour fast and pilling resistant. Recycled nylon Nylon, a type of polyamide, can now also be recycled for textiles, although only a handful of extremely specialised manufacturers in the world can achieve this efficiently and economically enough (e.g. ECONYL®, Italian yarn manufacturer, world leader in nylon recycling). Nylon is commonly recycled from fishing nets. It is soft, stretchy and durable. Natural fibres Such as our certified organic cotton, or our regenerated biodegradable fibres such as viscose and lyocell which are derived from wood pulp of bamboo, beech or eucalyptus. Cotton is well known for comfort. Viscose feels lustrous, breathable and softer than cotton. Lyocell is soft and lustrous and know for its biodegradability in aqueous solutions.
