Why Choose LYCRA® lastingFIT technology?
- The Challenge:
Consumers are turning away from fast fashion and are looking for durable garments that are more sustainable. Experts agree that wearing clothes longer reduces the environmental impact of a garment, but how do you keep garments from wearing out too quickly?
