NVK Daydoll

Established in 2010 NVK DAYDOLL is an ethical and sustainable collection made exclusively from LENZING´s TENCEL ™ - Modal fabric, a plant-derived fiber derived primarily from beech pulp from responsibly managed forests in northern Europe. The forest is an important productive resource; Lenzing is a biorefinery and extracts xylose (low-calorie sugars), acetic acid for the food sector and other by-products from the wood. 40-45% is cellulose from which TENCEL™ fiber is produced. NVK Daydoll has been a brand ambassador for Lenzing due to their evaluation on short supply chain and exclusive use of their own yarns.

The high-fit collection, patented by the Italian Ministry of Economic Development, is based on simple, minimalist outfits without the addition of any accessories such as hooks, zippers or buttons. The use of a single material greatly reduces energy consumption both during manufacture and disposal, benefiting the sustainability of the entire product life cycle. It is the garments' extraordinary breathability and healthfulness, along with their sustainability, that has enabled the NVK collection to obtain Ministerial Certification for the Textile and Health Project (cert. No 14900108 issued by the Ministry of Health to “protect the health of citizens, guaranteeing the safety and transparency of the textile product of Clothing to the final consumer”).

The environmental-friendly properties of NVK DAYDOLL are not limited to eco-sustainability. In fact, this brand also boasts other forms of environmental respect, such as excluding animal-sourced materials from the production process, as well as actively supporting animal protection programs around the world, to which a portion of the proceeds are donated. This extraordinary attention to the environment has led to the achievement of numerous “green” certifications, including: “No Greenhouse Effect,” ‘Peta-Approved Vegan,’ ‘Fur-Free’ and ”LAV Animal Free.”
