For our AW25 collection, we are presenting two styles created in partnership with the world-leading synthetic biology platform Octarine. These designs use the innovative PurePalette™ dye, a first-in-industry natural colour spectrum created with custom-made microbes and the process of fermentation. You can find out more about the process to create this dye, Octarine as a company, and our partnership on this page.

Led by world-class scientists, Octarine's mission is to create bio-based, low-impact solutions to address the most pressing planetary issues.

What is PurePalette™?

PurePalette™ is a garment dye that is created through the process of fermentation. It stands out for its significantly lower usage of water and energy than synthetic dyes and abstains from the use of mordants, chemical additives, or pre-treatments. It is for this reason that this innovative and responsible dye aligns perfectly with our aim of minimising our ecological impact and is rooted in our continuous commitment to the use of preferred materials and techniques as outlined in our Materials Strategy.
