The launch of yarn #86 is the product of the Vanessa Montoro & MbY collaboration, a partnership that resulted in a sophisticated and unique product.
To better understand this partnership, let's explain all the characteristics of what is one of Made by You's most exquisite yarns.
Despite being a chic product, yarn #86 still carries with it the entire essence of Made by You, where the democratization of manual practice, creativity, and personal identity stand out in every piece produced.
Vanessa Montoro & MbY Collaboration
Yarn #86, in addition to embodying the idea of personality, stands out as a jewel, this being the result of a very successful partnership between Made by You and the illustrious fashion designer Vanessa Montoro.
Chic and refined, yarn #86 is made of vegan and viscose materials, and also features unique characteristics such as lightness, shine, and sustainability, all at a very accessible price.
Although it is a rare product, a jewel, it is very accessible, meaning its concept is directly linked to Made by You, which adopts a sustainable and social stance.
The idea for yarn #86 arose from a legitimate need from Vanessa's audience, who always requested a material where the final result had a handmade aspect, but without losing the elegance and sophistication that are the signature of her brand's pieces.
Vanessa Montoro and Made by You built this great partnership due to their shared concepts.
Montoro is internationally renowned not only for the beauty and exclusivity of her pieces but also for the concept of luxury and sustainability of her brand.
Sophistication, beauty, and sustainability
Aligned with these ideas, Made by You and Vanessa Montoro developed a yarn aimed at those who appreciate sophistication and craftsmanship.
Beyond the main idea, the yarn's result is the expression of delicacy combined with principles of balance between consumption and the environment.
Yarn #86 is vegan and made with 100% plant-based viscose, with dyeing and softening done with a mineral base, while the raw material itself is plant-based.
The result of all this care could not be otherwise and surprises everyone, especially for being a very delicate and shiny yarn, thus creating a differentiated and full-bodied texture, giving the final piece excellent drape.
The development of this yarn was driven by the need for a product with more exclusive and refined characteristics, yet at a more accessible price.
Normally, silkier and shinier yarns are made of silk and consequently have a higher price, making it more challenging for artisans to develop pieces.
Therefore, the democratization of manual work is very important so that, in addition to access to techniques, those who wish to produce their pieces have access to high-quality and sustainable products, as is the case with yarn #86.
Vanessa Montoro
Working for about 20 years with handmade crafts, Vanessa has always believed that the combination of sustainability and luxury yields incredible results, even when more balanced production and consumption was not a relevant topic.
Her passion for handmade pieces dates back to her childhood when she watched her grandmother making some items.
Later, she better understood that exclusive and original clothing pieces greatly attracted people's attention.
A pioneer in sustainable fashion in Brazil, she owns the first luxury clothing brand in the country to achieve the B Corp certification, thus proving the importance of a more attentive eye that companies should have on issues related to environmental and social impact.
With crochet as her ally, Vanessa seeks to connect sustainability, sophistication, and nostalgia to develop her brand's extraordinary pieces, reminding us that for those who wish to start in this field, a crochet kit or even a knitting kit of good origin is ideal.
Sustainable fashion
To evolve and seek solutions that can help mitigate environmental impacts, as well as those that can promote social development, MbY spares no effort.
Believing in all handmade work as one of the most powerful allies to conscious consumption, Made by You understands that a handmade piece made with feeling lasts a lifetime.
Furthermore, like all crafts, these clothing pieces carry stories and meanings that are very important for both the maker and the wearer.
Sustainable fashion is linked to both sustainability itself and ethics, in a way that protects the environment and seeks to value social well-being as a whole.
Ethics in fashion and fair trade are gaining a lot of ground in the market and refer directly to safe working conditions, as well as development in all aspects related to social justice.
The Vanessa Montoro & MbY collaboration is a partnership that has been successful because both the designer and the brand are aligned with the concept of sustainability and social responsibility.
