HEXAMESH	Hexamesh is a knitted fabric consisting of two overlapping threads. The durable base is made from 30% recycled polyester (recycled plastic bottles) and the hexagonally patterned fabric surface is made from organic cotton. The inner lining is developed to provide better resistance to friction and maximum comfort and flexibility thanks to its mesh structure.

ORGANIC COTTON	The canvas is made of 100% certified organic cotton, without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilisers. Cotton is cultivated in Brazil and Peru by associations that respect people and the environment, according to the principles of fair trade. In Brazil, cotton is organic and agro-ecological, an agriculture that enriches the land after it has been cultivated by enhancing the complementarity of the species that are grown and the water retention in the soil. In Peru, organic cotton farmers are accompanied in their certification and have technical and financial support to improve their production.
