The MESCLAT capsule: more than just a trainer, a real commitment
We've already had the opportunity to introduce you to the MESCLAT capsule, our collaboration with Virgocoop, which perfectly embodies UBAC's values: sustainability, ethics and local roots. Today, it's more important than ever to remind you why this capsule, and the project behind it, are essential in today's fashion landscape.
A unique fabric for exceptional sneakers
Remember, Mesclat fabric is much more than just a textile. It's an intimate blend of 55% wool and 45% hemp, both grown and processed locally in Occitanie. This yarn, exclusive to Virgocoop, represents a concrete commitment to ecological and responsible textile production.
Today, faced with a globalized textile industry that is still largely based on practices that show little respect for the environment and workers, the MESCLAT capsule stands as an example to follow. It symbolizes a concrete and feasible alternative, where each pair of sneakers tells a story of collaboration between citizens, farmers and local craftsmen.
Every stage in the creation of MESCLAT, from the cultivation of raw materials to their transformation into yarn, is carried out in a restricted area of southern France, guaranteeing total traceability and a reduced carbon footprint.
Giving meaning back to the textile sector
More than ever, it's crucial to make sense of our consumption. The MESCLAT capsule is an invitation to make an enlightened choice, preferring products that respect the planet and those who live on it.
By supporting the cultivation of hemp and the valorization of wool from our regions, this cooperative proves that it is possible to produce quality fibers locally, while respecting the environment and revitalizing our territories. By wearing these sneakers, you're not only supporting local, ethical production, you're also contributing to a wider movement to transform the textile industry so that it becomes fairer and more sustainable.
Virgocoop, with whom we have created this capsule, is pursuing an ambitious goal: to relocalize textile production, from field to fabric.
One capsule, one commitment
The MESCLAT capsule isn't just a collection of sneakers. It's a commitment, a manifesto for fashion that respects people and nature. When you choose MESCLAT, you're choosing a product designed to last, made from natural and recycled raw materials from sustainable or organic farming.
You're also choosing to support a local economy, preserve know-how and promote more responsible consumption. Today, more than ever, it's time to make choices that count.
