Where circularity takes new form.<o:p></o:p>

With Re-Cashmere and Re-Wool, Prada brings the circular philosophy established through Re-Nylon into the realm of natural fibres, applying its commitment to more responsible, lower-impact sourcing to two of fashion’s most enduring materials: wool and cashmere.<o:p></o:p>

While Prada Re-Nylon was born from pre and post-consumer nylon waste, Re-Cashmere and Re-Wool take a different approach. Their circular process begins at the production stage, where pre-consumer offcuts, spinning residues and cutting-room remnants are collected, sorted and recycled into high-quality secondary materials, reintegrating them into the manufacturing cycle.<o:p></o:p>
The two initiatives represent a natural progression of the Prada Group’s 2023 roadmap to transition its key raw materials toward lower-impact alternatives, with traceability playing a vital role in monitoring environmental impact at the source. Each Re-Cashmere and Re-Wool garment features an NFC tag linked to the Aura Consortium platform, allowing customers to explore the origins of its fibres, suppliers, processing countries and production journey.<o:p></o:p>

Re-Cashmere is made from fine spinning residues and cashmere offcuts, including materials sourced from Prada Group’s Torgiano facility. The fragments are collected, sorted and separated by colour to eliminate the need for additional dyeing, before being carded and refined into new yarn for men’s and women’s sweaters, showcasing the value of high-quality recycled fibres.<o:p></o:p>
Re-Wool combines wool and cashmere waste, defective fabrics and cutting-room remnants from across the Group’s collections. After non-wool components are removed, the materials are sorted by colour and processed through wet shredding and carded spinning to create new yarn and fabric, blending virgin wool with recycled wool and a touch of recycled cashmere.<o:p></o:p>

Produced entirely in Italy, across Tuscany and Umbria, Re-Cashmere and Re-Wool follow the availability of reclaimed materials. The production moves beyond the seasonal calendar, making each piece part of a naturally limited edition.<o:p></o:p>
