Noani
German ethical brand Noani aims to be modern and avant-garde. It offers vegan fashion accessories high quality, timeless in style and made from sustainable and innovative materials such as eucalyptus fiber and apple leather .
Noani means “no animal”, in the words of the founder, Fabian Stadler : “ For us, it goes without saying that neither humans, animals nor the environment should suffer in the production of our products! But we also want to show that responsibly manufactured accessories can be absolutely modern and that with high quality and durability !”
Noani is taking an important step into the future of vegan fashion and proving that fashion can be beautiful on every level.
T he “Noani” project began in 2014, but it took over a year and a half to find the right materials and manufacturers to realize their vision of innovative, sustainable and vegan accessories . The brand did not aim to make cheap synthetic leather belts, produced in low-wage countries, but rather aimed for innovation and sustainability at every level, from the choice of materials to the working conditions of the people who make their products.
All vegan belts are made in a small factory in Italy and are then assembled by the brand in Germany, which guarantees fair and equitable working conditions, in addition to minimizing transport distances.
Respect for the environment being essential , their collection of vegan belts is composed in particular of apple fibers, eucalyptus fibers and recycled polyester.
Appleskin
This apple skin leather consists of 50% residues from the apple industry, which are dried and then ground into a fine powder. This is then mixed 50% with PU (polyurethane) and applied to a tear-proof roller with cotton fabric. The rollers are then heated to make them durable and weather-resistant. This material is Oeko Tex 100 certified.
Eucalyptus fibers
Eucalyptus trees are grown in sustainable forests without the use of pesticides. Eucalyptus fiber has a high resistance and a very soft touch. Its production requires little energy and water. It is Fabian Stadler, the founder of Noani, who developed this particularly interesting material .
Recycled polyester
Polyester is widely used in the clothing industry because this material is wear-resistant, elastic, easy to maintain. Noani uses only recycled polyester in the production of their vegan belts because it consumes much less water and energy than normal polyester. In addition, less waste is generated when polyester is reused.
In summary, Noani is an ecological, vegan, sustainable and modern brand!
