BIRTH Milk fiber was born in Italy in the early 1930s from the transformation of casein, a milk protein. Today, thanks to innovative bioengineering techniques, the fiber obtained from industrial dairy and cosmetic Low water consumption No Waste surpluses is extremely natural and has unique (2 liters are enough to get 1kg of (both from the recycling of milk properties. fiber, unlike cotton which requires and from the 100% recyclable milk 50 liters of water) fiber) FIBER: Exclusive milk fiber fabrics that release a precious moisturizing effect and give wellbeing while protecting the skin, even the most delicate. You can combine milk fiber with precious natural fibers to Low energy consumption Short process create fabrics and garments made entirely in Italy. (low temperatures in the process) (5 minutes are enough to complete With a natural antibacterial effect and high a fiber creation process) hydrophilicity, they provide added value for fiber products in the growing market.

PROCESSING: Milk fiber is obtained from the processing of casein, the main milk protein through a recycling system. The milk used for processing into fiber is the surplus product of the food and cosmetic industries. This means that there are no intensive crops or farms to produce the raw material that already exists as a surplus. The saving is twofold since on the one hand there are no new productions, on the other hand an existing element is used and otherwise destined to be disposed of as waste. The new processes developed to extract the fiber have made great strides in the direction of less pollution. Production requires only 2 liters of water for every kilo of product, no chemical agent and zero final waste or production waste. From milk fiber we have developed yarns and fabrics to make clothing that gives wellbeing.

WHOLE MILK MILK CREAM 100% Milk fabric Fabric DOUBLE 40% Milk 60% Micromodal The milk fiber, of protein origin, is light (it has a 100% Cotton weight 10% lower than silk and 13% lower than The processing of milk proteins combined with the polyester), hypoallergenic, antibacterial and more traditional one of cotton fiber gives life to a breathable, it guarantees a rapid absorption of fabric with extraordinary properties. Cotton’s own sweat leaving the body cool and dry thanks to its cellulose gives the yarn and fabric extreme softness thermo-regulatory properties. The milk amino acids and flexibility, but also resistance and consistency. that remain inside the fiber take care of the skin, The fabric, in fact, is more full-bodied, ideal for nourishing and hydrating it. creating structured garments, with volumes and The fabric made with milk yarn is particularly well-defined shapes. Quick drying after washing, it pleasant, very soft to the touch, has a luminous maintains its characteristics and properties over appearance, is light, soft and retains its time. The honeycomb structure of the fiber increases characteristics even after numerous washes. its specific surface, increasing the ability to quickly absorb moisture by dispersing it, which is why wearing a garment made with this composition feels a sensation of well-being in any climatic situation.

LOW-FAT MILK Fabric 40% Milk 60% Micromodal The milk fiber lends itself to be combined with other fine fibers, to which it gives its qualities of softness, shine, lightness and strength. DueDiLatte combines milk fiber with micromodal fiber, absolutely natural as it comes from non- genetically modified plants, grown without the use of chemicals, but only with natural products that do not damage the environment. The interweaving of these fibers gives life to a fabric with hybrid properties, which maintains great capacity of resistance and absorption of moisture, softness and shine, creating a hypoallergenic and breathable fabric, resistant but delicate on the skin.

RICE MILK 100% Rice fabric The “rose” fiber comes from the processing of rice proteins and cellulose and belongs to the category of Natural and Ecological Fibers as it is completely biodegradable. The cellulose contained in it gives the yarn and fabric extreme softness and flexibility, making it comparable to cashmere. Certified by international organizations, the “rose” fiber has the peculiar feature of protecting from ultraviolet rays and at the same time absorbing the beneficial sun rays, improving blood circulation. The fabric made with the “rose” fiber is soft and shiny, light on the skin gives a pleasant sensation of lightness and freshness.
