PARIETTI - FREEDOM BY DESIGN
There is a lot of pressure put on today’s cyclist but Parietti is about cycling for the pure joy of it.
We’re not about super tight race fits or cheaply made, mass produced kits. We’re about world class quality and expert, local production.
Based in Mallorca, we evolve the island’s heritage and cycling history into high quality, responsibly made, meaningful garments - cool and comfortable outdoor sports apparel that balances personal satisfaction and confidence with premium performance, while effecting realistic change through honest, direct, conscious action.
Made in the Med
Our first range crafted from premium recycled fabrics; takes its design inspiration from the traditional Ikat textile dyeing technique unique to Mallorca. It’s our way of honouring our heritage and our home.
We keep it local with production too, because in the Mediterranean, we are surrounded by some of the best manufacturers of cycling apparel in the world. All our garments are currently made in Italy. So is our uncut Jersey fabric, with our Base Layer fabric coming from Spain. This ensures the highest quality of production while minimising our carbon footprint.
We are made in the Mediterranean for the world.
Crafted by Experts
All our garments are designed by experts who have created ranges for pro-cycling teams and global cycling brands. While our family-run Italian factories are specialists with generational experience in producing premium cycling apparel.
Take a closer look
Together we are pushing the boundaries of what cycling apparel can do, for the individual, for the industry and for the world. By marrying great design and long lasting, superior quality garments with a responsible and highly sustainable production approach we can ensure that we all have a better world in which to ride.
Fabrics
We are continuously looking to source the best sustainable fabrics, with performance and comfort in mind.
We only use M.I.T.I. Green Soul technology fabric for our Jerseys. This fabric combines 100% recycled fibers made from post-consumer plastic bottles and pre-consumer industrial materials, with the most environmentally friendly finishing processes. Everything, down to the badges sewn into your Jersey, is made from 100% recycled polyester yarns.
Our mesh Base Layers are created from EcoRec sustainable mesh fabric. 74% of the fabric is made from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles.
From Plastic to Product
To create our fabrics, plastic bottles are collected, cleaned, shredded and re-ground into polymer chips. These are then re-spun and constructed into high quality sportswear fabrics.
With absolutely no compromise on performance or comfort in the finished garment, this process actually uses 50% less energy and 30% less water than standard production practices, where new polyester is extracted from fossil fuels.
Come on big names if we can do it, you can do it too!
Pure Packaging
All our product and delivery packaging has Leave No Trace in mind. We use The Better Packaging Co [> #Stories - BPC Feature] for all our garment bags and mailers.
100% of all our garment apparel bags are certified home compostable
Made from corn starch, simply dispose of them with your food scraps and garden waste and you’re feeding the earth.
100% of all our mailing envelopes are reusable, recyclable and naturally biodegradable
In a revolutionary process, limestone off-cuts destined for landfill are transformed into envelopes using only renewable solar power. They are tough, durable and waterproof. But they can be reused, recycled and will naturally degrade in time and sunlight.
