CARPASUS
【CARPASUS】Overshirt Abaca – Olive
Description
Is this overshirt made from bananas? Not exactly. It is crafted from Bananatex®, a textile made purely from the fibers of the abacá banana plant. The result is a unique natural fabric with a clean look, soft touch, and excellent everyday functionality.
Bananatex® is compostable and biodegradable, while also being naturally antibacterial, UV resistant, and durable. Its twill construction gives the overshirt a substantial yet comfortable feel, making it a versatile layer for daily wear.
The abacá plants are grown in a permaculture environment in the Philippines, then woven into fabric in Taiwan. The overshirt is sewn and dyed in Portugal, with design and development carried out in Switzerland, reflecting a thoughtful and responsible production process from fiber to finished garment.
