In a recent collaboration, the renowned fashion brand 3.1 Phillip Lim joined forces with Volvo for an inspiring initiative dedicated to the future. Together, they curated a limited-edition weekend bag designed for eco-conscious travelers, showcasing a commitment to sustainability and style.
3.1 Phillip Lim has gained recognition for its pioneering approach to sourcing alternative materials, ranging from a carbon-neutral dress made from algae to elevated recycled materials. This dedication has revolutionized the modern fashion industry by promoting conscious luxury and effortless style.
The designer weekend bag, a testament to this ethos, is crafted from a cutting-edge sustainable material known as Nordico, specifically designed for Volvo interiors. This aligns with Volvo Cars’ recent announcement that all-new fully electric models, starting with the C40 Recharge, will be entirely leather-free. This proactive step underscores Volvo’s commitment to seeking high-quality and sustainable alternatives for materials commonly used in the automotive industry.
Nordico, an innovative material introduced in Volvo’s latest generation of fully electric cars, exemplifies high quality and sustainability. Comprising textiles made from recycled materials such as PET bottles, bio-attributed material sourced from sustainable forests in Sweden and Finland, and recycled corks from the wine industry, Nordico reflects Volvo’s dedication to environmentally conscious practices and materials.
