PHIL PETTER ability and product innovation: the Austrian collection focuses on knitwear and jerseys of the utmost quality for the spring/summer 2022 season – interpreted in a sophisticated, contemporary context and manufactured in the company’s own manufactory in Dornbirn. A capsule featuring bourette silk takes centre stage. “Pure bourette silk is a fantastic fabric that is absolutely sustainable,” explains Anja Grabherr-Petter, Creative Director of Phil Petter, enthusiastically. Silk has the capacity to both cool in the heat and warm in the cold. The touch is soft, while the surface is vibrant with nodular irregularities, a quality feature of a natural product that is also said to have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and skin-soothing properties. “It is equally important to us to use cruelty-free silk, meaning that the silkworm is not killed as is the case in traditional silk production,” emphasises Grabherr-Petter. During the silk production process, the cocoons of the caterpillar are collected after hatching to spin bourette silk. The butterflies, which are beneficial to the environment, thus remain alive. “Phil Petter believes that bourette silk is the perfect new summer quality for luxury lightweight knitwear. Exceptional products, as well as their respective background stories, are essential for our brand. At the end of the day, however, the product speaks for itself in its uniqueness and quality.”
