EUROJERSEY Presents The New AW 2023 “FAIRY CORE” Lingerie Collection Made With Sensitive® Fabrics

CARONNO PERTUSELLA, Italy — July 20, 2022 — EUROJERSEY’s Sensitive® Fabrics are entering a new season with proposals for eclectic lingerie, a synthesis of a fantastical journey that adds that sense of magic to everyday life. An aesthetic, enchantingly impetuous and happy as fairies in another world, it combines seduction and sophistication through a declination of nuances from the coolest and lunar to the most intense and passionate, interspersed with neutral and earthy tones.

Metallic geometries, chiné floral patterns, and nature-inspired textures combine with theatrical sets and calligraphic artistry for a collection that enhances the most sensual sphere. A true ode to femininity with the new gothic style with a dark aesthetic but equally balanced by that touch of essentiality and attention to detail.

As intangible as a second skin, Sensitive® Fabrics offer breathability, freshness and lightness. Delicate and super comfortable they feature three-dimensional stretch for a perfect fit.  Innovative, inimitable and pilling-free, they are the undeformable and irreplaceable fabrics for the pleasure of the wearer, adapting to the body and lending sophistication to every undergarment.

Sage-ONF Launches Innovative Silicone Synthetic Leather For Future Mobility Interiors

SHANGHAI — July 19, 2022 — Sage-ONF, a synthetic leather supplier boasting 29 years of experience in design, development, manufacturing and sales, launches serial production of Silicone Synthetic leather. The Sage-ONF plant has begun manufacturing the Silicone Synthetic leather in Shanghai, China.

As consumers continue to demand greater sustainability commitments, this new venture extends Sage-ONF’s heritage of sustainability by delivering Silicone Synthetic leather as an innovative petroleum-free, non-carbon-based product solution for today’s mobility interiors. With a steadfast conviction to continuous innovation and earth-friendly business practices, this new material avoids DMF and plasticizer usage.

“Bringing together our core competencies as Sage-ONF, we bridge the gap between consumer expectations and industry capabilities to provide alternatives that are both environmentally friendly and bolster animal welfare around the globe,” said Robbie Lv, General Manager of Sage-ONF.

Sage and ONF bring 74 years in the automotive interiors business and a deep understanding of cultural trends and design preferences to deliver unparalleled luxury and a soft hand feel that consumers demand for interior mobility needs. Beyond the touch, consumers can have confidence in their interior’s longevity and cleanability—simply wipe stains with a damp cloth to remove them.

However, experience proves that interiors must be tough enough to tackle mile after mile with a super resilient resistance to extreme temperatures. Using UV, hydrolysis, cold crack and flame tests, Sage-ONF ensures long-lasting interiors that enhance the consumer mobility experience. While many claim superiorities in luxury or in sustainability, Sage-ONF exceeds expectations in both realms by using non-solvent and plasticizer-free techniques to create an opulent silicone with ultra-low VOCs.

“By keeping our product, process and mission as our guide, we are pleased to create a silicone synthetic leather that meets the demanding needs of the mobility interior without leather’s known fragility, extra weight, environmental impact and short lifespan,” said Mark Brezenski, Vice President – Asia at Sage, an Asahi Kasei company. “Sage-ONF is proud to deliver interior materials and solutions of tomorrow to OEMs and consumers, today.”

Eco HealthTech Apparel Brand Swiss Precision Launches

LOS ANGELES — July 20, 2022 — Swiss Precision, an Eco HealthTech apparel brand for the medical scrub, uniform, and accessories markets, officially launched today with its mission of disrupting the medical scrub, uniform & accessories markets with unique copper + natural patented materials that kill or slow the spread of microorganisms.

Their materials blend copper with natural organic fabrics like cotton, bamboo, and linen, all designed with an eye on style, comfort, and fit. Swiss Precision has found its unique niche by creating an innovative product that elevates, refreshes, and disrupts the ages-old medical scrub and uniform industry. Currently, medical apparel and accessories is a $94 billion worldwide market projected to grow to $141 billion by 2028.

“Polyester commercial and consumer textiles are made from harsh chemicals that are toxic to people and the planet,” said Leslie Dotson, Co-founder & CEO. “Worse yet, a growing number of infections are contracted because of toxins in such locations as hospitals, known as health-care-associated infections (HAIs) and hospital-acquired infections (HAI). Health care workers protect us. It’s time to protect them.”

Hospitals are increasingly seeing strains of antibiotic-resistant germs and deadly bacteria and viruses, which traditional medical scrubs can carry. New research has found that copper can help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses linked to severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS).

In extensive testing, a range of copper alloys collectively termed “antimicrobial copper” inactivated coronavirus within a few minutes. Testing from the prestigious SGS labs showed that the copper material is antimicrobial, and using simulated fingertip contamination, exposure to copper destroyed the virus completely and irreversibly. Swiss Precision weaves this same virus-destroying copper into its fabrics, making them antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral.

In addition, Swiss Precision has been accepted as a vendor to be sold across 50,000 hospitals in the U.S., and anticipates that a majority of medical facilities will adopt its materials for the future of healthcare. It’s an exciting opportunity to protect healthcare workers, patients, and the planet.

In addition to online support through Amazon sales, Swiss Precision partner distributors include:

Fabrique – Fabrique has over 30 years of experience working with the top OEMs to provide carrying case solutions. They also have more than two decades of experience developing medical device carrying solutions, such as cases used to deploy defibrillators in the field. Our expertise in this space has helped to open the door for other items, such as medical scrubs, gloves, and masks.

AMP Staffing Network – AMP Staffing Network is the leading nursing registry that has staffed hospitals and facilities throughout Southern California for the past 20 years. AMP is also accredited by The Joint Commission and is recognized by the Better Business Bureau. With 348 nurses in the registry AMP always puts safety as a priority and culture as a way to keep their team connected. Therefore, Eco HealthTech Apparel Brand Swiss Precision has partnered up with us to be a distributor of their apparel to our nurses and the community. With the extra protection and style Eco HealthTech apparel has to offer, it is the perfect collaboration for our branding and the vision we have here at AMP Staffing Network. We are also on Facebook and Instagram @ampstaffingnetwork.

88 Transportation – 88 Transportation is committed to being the best logistics service provider in the U.S.A. They dedicate themselves to exceeding our customers’ expectations by continuously improving our services. 88 Transportation offers our customers the best logistics services at the lowest rates. Each of our senior managers have been in the logistics industry for over 20 years.

In addition, there will be a potential opportunity with StartEngine based on due diligence, which will be announced at a later date.

Our iconic brands resonate with consumers world-wide, and we will help UT enhance fan engagement and expand their retail footprint nationally and in the Knoxville area.”

UT is just one of two schools in NCAA Division I history to own the No. 1 national ranking in football, women’s basketball, men’s basketball, softball and baseball.

As part of the partnership, HBI will create special activations and enhanced retail presentations designed to elevate the UT brand and fan experience.

In addition, HBI is partnering with Tennessee on a new, co-branded mobile merchandise kiosk for use at home athletic events.

The new partnership with HanesBrands follows a detailed analysis of the Tennessee trademark licensing program and a competitive proposal process completed in conjunction with the university’s exclusive licensing agent, CLC. In addition to these exclusive programs, Tennessee will continue its partnership with Nike as the provider of performance products and specific fan merchandise. Tennessee will also continue to license other apparel companies in key product categories to meet the diverse needs of Vols fans.
