Use of Tencel

Frescobol Carioca is making an increasing amount of its collections from Tencel. This textile is created from eucalyptus sap and is biodegradable, as well as being lightweight, wrinkle-resistant and fast-drying.

In-house R&D team

Frescobol Carioca has also invested in a dedicated in-house research and development team focused on finding ways to make the brand more environmentally friendly.

European manufacturing

This has resulted in key behind-the-scenes decisions, such as manufacturing clothing in Europe to reduce the carbon footprint from transportation, focusing on curated seasonal collections rather than regular product drops and staying in constant consultation with local authorities to identify improvements that can be made to its supply chain.
