The iconic color black has always been a staple in our lives. It dominates our phones, our cars, and even the ink in our pens. However, what if we told you that there’s a dark side to black? Most black products you own contain carbon black, a pigment derived from petroleum. The process of making carbon black is far from sustainable. It involves stripping vast areas of land known as tar sands, leaving behind a barren wasteland, and emitting significant amounts of greenhouse gases during production. But fear not, because there’s a new black in town.
Vollebak, the innovative clothing brand known for pushing the boundaries of material science, has introduced the world’s first dye made from black algae. After five years of research and development, they have perfected the formula for the groundbreaking black algae dye. To create the Vollebak Black Algae Dyed Henley, they have combined this revolutionary dye with a blend of organic cotton, pulped eucalyptus, and brown algae, a type of seaweed harvested from the majestic North Atlantic fjords of Iceland.
Crafted in Portugal, the Black Algae Henley is not only visually stunning but also incredibly soft and breathable. Thanks to the garment dyeing process using black algae, it achieves a level of comfort that surpasses traditional black garments. The shirt features two bio-resin buttons, adding an extra touch of sophistication to its design.
Priced at $195, the Vollebak Black Algae Dyed Henley is not just a stylish addition to your wardrobe; it’s a statement of sustainability and innovation. By embracing the new black, you’re supporting a future where fashion and environmental consciousness go hand in hand. Join the movement and experience the next level of eco-friendly style.
