AUTHENTICITY AND
SUSTAINABILITY
This is how EC Wearable Nature was born with the aim of making wearable what Mother Nature offers.
Walking on the Wood, thanks to EC Wearable Nature branches, leaves and bark
continue their life cycle becoming a botanical atlas to wear.
Sculptural jewelry and clothing tout court fragment and narrate the ritual of reappropriation
of the most authentic material in a riot of textures, colors and geometries.
Elena Capra, whose educational background is based on design,
thanks to EC Wearable Nature expresses its creativity in the realization of unique objects
that are born in the laboratory on the slopes of Mont Blanc.
Slow fashion, authenticity and sustainability intersect in the one-piece-only tiles,
all handmade with the aim of making the owner a promoter of elegance and refinement.
