LIMITED EDITION FASHION CAPSULE

Last year HUGO BOSS continued its journey towards a more sustainable approach to fashion with the launch of a Sailing Capsule made from responsible materials. The eight pieces, presented in the colours of the famous HUGO BOSS yacht, are made from recycled polyester and organic cotton. Boss’s reduced use of resources mirrors the design ethos of the boat, which skipper Alex Thomson sailed in the recent Vendée Globe. The water-resistant raincoat, hoodie, cap and backpack are made from doublefaced recycled polyester woven using Social Plastic® yarn from Plastic Bank®. The BOSS logo T-shirt, polo, knitted beanie and sweater, that complete the collection, are crafted from cotton sourced from COTTONFORLIFE, which aims to develop and sustain farming of high-quality organic cotton. www.hugoboss.com These sturdy Sebago mocs were born from combining the classy comfort of an iconic boat shoe vamp and upper with the endurance of a thick honey gum commando sole that gives weather-resistance and improves stability and traction. Hand-sewn with hot stuff buffed leather especially conditioned with a rich combination of oils and waxes to provide a natural polish quality, they feature leather sock lining and a 360 degree rawhide lace system.
