Sympatex to introduce French brand partners at Première Vision
Functional materials developer Sympatex Technologies is to use the upcoming Première Vision trade fair in Paris (September to 13-15) to present the French brands who use its materials.

Among its new French partners in the fashion are men’s fashion brands Bleu de Paname and Bonne Gueule. Two new products from Blue de Paname - an urban long coat jacket and an alpine jacket – are made using a light two-layer laminate. Bonne Gueule is or present a khaki-coloured urban style softshell parka with a detachable hood.

High-end children’s wear specialists Jacadi have partnered with Sympatex for a warm down jacket, which offers additional weather protection due to the attached Sympatex insert laminate.   

Sympatex’s yarn made using recycled PET bottles (which is produced alongside Italian Yarn specialist Sinterama) is being used by bedding manufacturer Lestra for the second consecutive season.

Premium motorcycle clothing brand Furygan is expanding its Sympatex line ahead of the new bike season. Its new range includes motorcycle gloves and boots for women and men.  

Dr Rudiger Fox, Sympatex CEO, described the French market as “visionary” and said the country “has always been an important trailblazer”. He added that the growing demand for sustainable materials in the clothing industry means there is “great growth potential” for Sympatex in France.
