The Lurdes Sampaio textile joined forces with Foot By Foot to create an unprecedented product: an organic mesh, filled with recycled foam.
“This is a pioneer project in Portugal. There is no recycled foam manufacturing in Portugal, so we had to import the raw material,” explains Conceição Sá, Lurdes Sampaio’s textile engineer and CEO.
The company makes sustainability one of its main trademarks and over the past few years has launched hundreds of new ecological structures.
Today, more than 60% of the company’s stock consists of knits made from sustainable materials such as organic cotton and silk, tencel, cupro, or even yak hair, recently introduced by Inovafil.
