UNDERWATER
While maintaining its heritage as an environmentally friendly urban cyclist-facing concept, for its 2nd collection, eightithree will experiment with different shades of light, as perceived underwater. The absolute wholeness of water and the fluidity of movement it lends to shapes will be explored through the use of various sustainable fabrics, such as recycled polyester, recycled nylon, hemp, and most excitingly, Umofil. Umofil is a textile composed of ocean collagen peptide derived from recycled fish scales. The process yields rich blacks blended with deep hues of dark green and blue.
