IKKS Paris partners with Manteco to produce a recycled wool peacoat

French fashion and lifestyle brand IKKS Paris joined forces with Italian textile house Manteco to produce a peacoat crafted from recycled MWool.

With sustainability in mind, IKKS Paris’ AW22 collection offers an eco-conscious solution for winter dressing with its latest peacoat.

The classic silhouette, which was originally worn by sailors, is rendered in MWool, which is a new generation of recycled wool made in Manteco’s studios in Italy. Similarly to natural virgin wool, the innovative and sustainable fibre is soft, breathable, and heat-regulating. It is the first-ever recycled wool to be certified by the Environmental Product Declaration and boasts fully circular zero-waste. This means its production is 99.2% less impacting on climate change and consumes 93.3% less energy compared to generic virgin wool fibres.

The men's iteration is a short fit with a double-breasted fastening, punctuated by a double row of anchor engraved buttons. The women’s is cut to a mid-length and includes double-breasted fastening IKKS engraved buttons. The pieces can be purchased for £435 at the IKKS Paris flagship stores located at 3-4 Carnaby Street and 109 King’s Road, as well as online.

This collaboration follows IKKS Paris’ commitment to responsible and ethical IKKS ACTS BETTER vision. With the initiative, the brand aims to reduce its carbon emissions and environmental impact, guaranteeing social standards across supply chains and reducing the use of plastic. In addition, IKKS Paris is committed to a five-year partnership with The SeaCleaners to help remove plastic pollution from the ocean, and all leather is certified by the Leather Working Group.
