From athleisure to fashion, via underwear, from sarongs to bodysuits, through evening and bridal gowns, up to the world of denim and high fashion, Iluna's lace continues to expand its applications, confirming its versatility, performance and beauty.

There are four main proposals presented by Iluna Group during Première Vision ( 8-10 February 2022) :

  • Flock in flounce or allover entirely made with recycled ingredients and equipped with endless printing possibilities, with 3D and multicolor effects that allow the inclusion in fashion, underwear and athleisure looks. All certified GRS (Global Recycled Standard).
  • Continued investment in both the Green Label and Bioline, two collections totally dedicated to innovative and responsible aesthetics. Both include lace made with the responsible 6.6 polyamide yarn Amni Soul Eco® and the degradable stretch fiber ROICA™ V550, combined with natural vegetable dyes with OEKO TEX and GOTS certifications.
  • The union of a chenille yarn blended with FSC-certified viscose and Renycle® yarn, a product obtained by recycling nylon 6, a high-value material with excellent strength, dyeing, softness and versatility, gives life to surprising new Textronic. The embossed designs with 3D effect create a cloud effect that, combined with Lurex, gives unexpected glows.
  • GRS-certified tulles printed with GREENDROP technology, the new GOTS-certified digital pigment printing system, with lower energy consumption and low water waste, thanks to an internal closed-circuit process for water recycling.

"Smart Lace System" of Iluna Group at Milano Unica

  • Based on high-tech finishing, responsible materials and certified partnerships
  • With multicolored flock, zero water printing, chenille and metallic effects, the company is at the forefront in establishing a responsible lace supply chain

Legend has it that a sailor brought his beloved a seaweed from distant seas as a gift. The woman, wanting to preserve its beauty, replicated the design and holes with needle and thread. And so lace was born. Since that moment, lace has lived within the walls of churches and castles, visited race tracks and catwalks, changing shape and color according to seasons and times.

Among the companies involved in writing a new chapter in the history of lace, Iluna Group definitely stands out. Founded in 1970 from an idea of its founder Luigi Annovazzi, over the years Iluna has responded to the challenges posed by the market in terms of technology and sustainability.

Since 2017 Iluna has been using only sustainable and certified ROICA™ stretch yarns from the ROICA Eco-Smart™ family, while the percentage of sustainable references has risen from 3% in 2018 to 52% in 2021.

Milano Unica: Iluna Group presents the FW 21-22 collection

  • Trust the vibes, energy doesn’t lie!

Advanced design and sustainability, innovation, aesthetics and quality, made of “ethical” laces and tights of very high quality standards and a careful look at fashion. Iluna Group, strengthened by this heritage, with a smart approach, carefully selected materials, know-how on processes and particular attention to the ecosystem, is a leader in its sector

With the FW 21-22 collection, Iluna Group focuses on design excellence aimed at perfection driven by this particular historical moment, in which preferring quality over quantity has become necessary: offering ever higher standards of quality is combined with the choice of reducing minimum waste in a way of working that becomes more thoughtful, studied, focused and less hectic.

The range of sustainable products expands by adding to the GRS certified Green Label, the BIOLINE, made with raw materials such as the precious ROICA™ V550 premium stretch fiber which belongs to ROICA Eco-Smart ™ family produced by Asahi Kasei able to combine elasticity and comfort and other benefits in terms of circular economy related to the health of materials, as demonstrated by the Gold Level Material Health Certificate by the Cradle to Cradle Product Innovation Institute, and by the world's first biodegradable polyamide 6.6 yarn AMNI SOUL ECO®, fibers that degrade completely in the environment under anaerobic conditions.

The exceptional natural dyes proposed are made with vegetable dyes extracted from various plants, with a color chart that now has 14 shades, all with solidity within the OEKO TEX® Standard 100 and all GOTS certified. No chemical product is used for the dyes, including the softening finish, for which an equally natural product is used.

All the products of the Iluna Group collections can be made in a recycled or organic variant.

Iluna Group participates to Milano Unica and digitally at all sector fairs, a new way of communicating that together with the use of social media - accompanied by the launch last year of the official website and e-commerce with all the collections and the ilunamasks.com site dedicated to the sale of the exclusive Iluna masks - it can be transformed from a necessity to a great resource and an opportunity to enhance a 360° sustainable attitude. Iluna, even before the pandemic, has always considered the sustainable aspect a priority in its work and now, in the light of this new landscape, the many years of experience gained benefits the company by pushing it to place itself more and more as a precursor of sustainable innovation.

The constant commitment to responsible solutions makes Iluna Group the only lace manufacturer to use - since 2017 - transformed stretch in the entire range of its elastic laces. Iluna Group excellence is based 100% on responsible innovation, guaranteed by the most important certifications. The creation of smart lace, strictly Made in Italy, is also Global Recycled Standard (GRS) certified. Today Iluna is a reference point for international markets and boasts products with OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification.

Kindertextilien mit gutem Gewissen kaufen: Eltern vertrauen auf MADE IN GREEN


Heute geht es Eltern beim Kauf von Kinderbekleidung nicht nur um Qualität und Preis –sie möchten auch das gute Gefühl haben, dass ihre Kaufentscheidung unter nachhaltigen Gesichtspunkten richtig war. Klarheit schafft hier das MADE IN GREEN by OEKO-TEX® Label: Damit ausgezeichnete Artikel sind gemäß den geltenden OEKO-TEX® Richtlinien gesundheitlich unbedenklich und nachhaltig produziert. All das wird für Eltern transparent auf einem kleinen Label kommuniziert.


Heute geht es Eltern beim Kauf von Kinderbekleidung nicht nur um Qualität und Preis –sie möchten auch das gute Gefühl haben, dass ihre Kaufentscheidung unter nachhaltigen Gesichtspunkten richtig war. Klarheit schafft hier das MADE IN GREEN by OEKO-TEX® Label: Damit ausgezeichnete Artikel sind gemäß den geltenden OEKO-TEX® Richtlinien gesundheitlich unbedenklich und nachhaltig produziert. All das wird für Eltern transparent auf einem kleinen Label kommuniziert.


Können Eltern sicher sein, dass der neue Strampler für den kleinen Liebling auf Schadstoffe geprüft ist? Wurde der Artikel unter fairen Arbeitsbedingungen und umweltfreundlich hergestellt? Bei diesen Fragen möchten sich Eltern zunehmend sicher sein, dass Textilien ihre wachsenden Ansprüche erfüllen. Mit dem MADE IN GREEN Label haben Markenunternehmen, Einzelhändler und Hersteller die Möglichkeit,  egenüber verantwortungsbewussten Eltern direkt am Produkt anschaulich zu kommunizieren, dass sie sich für eine hohe Produktsicherheit sowie ökologische und soziale Produktionsbedingungen einsetzen. Das MADE IN GREEN Label wird für Textilprodukte aller Art vergeben, die nach STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® auf Schadstoffe geprüft wurden und darüber hinaus aus nachhaltigen Produktionsstätten stammen, die gemäß den Anforderungen der STeP by OEKO-TEX® Zertifizierung arbeiten (STeP steht dabei für „Sustainable Textile Production“). MADE IN GREEN bietet Verbrauchern auf nur einem Label einen bislang unerreichten Grad der Transparenz: Jedes Label verfügt über eine eindeutige Produkt-ID bzw. über einen QR-Code. So können Eltern mit ihrem Smartphone noch direkt im Laden die Herstellung des jeweiligen Produkts zurückverfolgen. Ein kurzer Scan des QR-Codes gibt Antworten u.a. auf Fragen wie: In welchen Produktionsbetrieben entlang der textilen Kette wurde dieses Textil produziert? In welchen Ländern fand die Fertigung statt? Das schafft Vertrauen und bietet Kunden eine zusätzliche Möglichkeit, sich beim Textilkauf ohne Umwege über Produkte zu informieren und sie miteinander zu vergleichen.


Damit ist das im Frühjahr 2015 eingeführte MADE IN GREEN Label ein starkes Verkaufsargument vor allem für Markenunternehmen und Einzelhändler mit angeschlossener Lieferkette, die ganz besonders Eltern als Zielgruppe ansprechen möchten. Als eines der ersten Unternehmen hat die Schweizer Wäschemarke CALIDA im Frühjahr 2016 damit begonnen, einzelne Damen- und Herrenprodukte mit dem MADE IN GREEN by OEKO-TEX® Label auszuzeichnen. Das erste komplett gelabelte Segment ist seit Juli 2016 die CALIDA-Kinderkollektion.


Um Händlern und Unternehmen die Auswahl von MADE IN GREEN gelabelten Produkten zu erleichtern, stellt OEKO-TEX® unter www.oeko-tex.com/produkte den OEKO-TEX® Einkaufsführer kostenfrei zur Verfügung. Das Tool unterstützt bei der Beschaffung von Ausgangsmaterialien und Produkten sowie bei der Auswahl von Kooperationspartnern und Lieferanten entlang der textilen Kette. So bietet OEKO-TEX® Unternehmen und Händlern ein ganzes Ökosystem aus Labels und Dienstleistungen – und damit ein entscheidendes Verkaufsargument gegenüber gesundheitsbewussten Eltern.
