Developed by the brand's style and sustainability team, the launch of this collection helped reinforce Riachuelo's positioning as a sustainability leader who works to deliver transformative fashion pieces that are also sustainable.

Using sustainable textile technologies, the collection was made with LYCRA® EcoMade fiber, which is produced using 20% pre-consumption recycled spandex, and Rhodia’s Amni Soul Eco® biodegradable polyamide, which decomposes in about three years after disposal in landfills. The collection includes ten options of comfortable sets with Berlan Têxtil’s Eco Print stamping, which reduces water consumption by 90% and energy consumption by 30% throughout the process, when compared to the rotary process.
