Polopiqué announced yesterday that, following extensive developments of fabrics with recycled fibres, some materials came to life through the work of designer Hugo Dumas, winner of the 2025 Redress Design Award. With images published in Vogue Hong Kong, the company expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the partnership, which also involved collaboration with Recover.
Speaking to T Jornal, Paula Rodrigues, project manager, explained that Polopiqué has been actively monitoring the evolving sustainability demands in the textile industry, taking a proactive role in developing responsible solutions with partners and clients.
“In recent years, we have consistently worked on developing structures with sustainable fibres, alternative natural fibres, innovative combinations of raw materials, and more responsible production processes. In our developments with recycled fibres, we have already achieved blends of up to 60% recycled fibre combined with 40% organic cotton, and we remain committed to achieving new and improved results,” she added.
Rodrigues also shared that since 2021, Polopiqué has collaborated with Recover, incorporating recycled cotton into various collections of fabrics and knits, which led to the connection with Hugo Dumas. “Polopiqué joined this project from the start, supporting the process by providing the necessary raw materials. Together, we selected materials composed exclusively of organic and recycled cotton in black and white,” she detailed.
The Santo Tirso-based company followed with great satisfaction Hugo Dumas’ selection as a finalist for the Redress Design Award, as well as the feature of the collection in Vogue Hong Kong. “Investing in sustainable fibres and developments is fully compatible with creativity, quality, and international recognition,” said Paula Rodrigues, highlighting that this approach simultaneously promotes sustainable innovation in fashion and supports emerging talent.
“We believe that bringing together the different stakeholders in the industry is essential to accelerate the transition to more responsible models and to build a more sustainable future for the textile and fashion sector,” she concluded.
