[ABOUT]
cU (“see you”, acronym for cancellato UNIFORM) is a modern and versatile knitwear clothing line created to become the everyday uniform for as many people as possible.
Based on technical, social and cultural research, cU combines the Italian artisanal know-how with 3D knitwear technologies to create clothes capable of adapting to various bodies, ages, genders and physical abilities.
Following the belief that it should be the garments to adapt to the different shapes and proportions of bodies and not the other way around, each cU garment dresses both male and female bodies, from XS to XL.
[SIZE SYSTEM]
The four sizes of cU, based on height, allow to dress people from 1.30 to 1.90 meters tall.
Thanks to constant research directly involving several people from the earliest design steps, cU offers an elegant and high quality wardrobe made to adapt to as many bodies as possible and to their natural changes over time
PRODUCTION PROCESSES
All garments are manufactured using 3D knitting technology, are seamless and waste is kept to a minimum.
Generally, a knitwear garment is made up of separate parts that are then sewn together. By contrast, with 3D knitting technology, each cU garment is produced in one three dimensional piece directly on the knitting machine.
3D knitting technology produces stronger garments, consuming only as much material as necessary, reducing material waste.
[MATERIALS]
cU pays particular attention to research into the materials with which it produces its garments.
The garments are made from 100% or 93% biodegradable fibres, both natural and artificial, opting for controlled and non-impactful processes.
The materials used by cU allow extreme comfort in contact with the skin, while the temperature regulating properties allow the garments to be used for more than one season.
Most cU garments are made of extra-fine merino wool certified OEKO TEX and Mulesing Free.
Merino wool is a natural fiber that is both renewable and biodegradable, making it an environmentally friendly choice. It offers excellent thermoregulating and insulating properties, allowing it to be worn comfortably throughout the year. Additionally, it is highly moisture-absorbent without feeling wet to the touch, and it naturally repels water. Wool fibers also have a certain degree of stain repellency, they can absorb odors and possess self-cleaning properties that make it possible to avoid frequent washing of garments while saving energy.
