Sustainable fashion label Armedangels has signed a non-binding Letter of Intent (LoI) with Finnish textile material innovation company Spinnova to secure potential access to its fibre for future product collections.

Known for its strong focus on ethical and sustainable production, Armedangels’ agreement with Spinnova aligns with the fibre innovator’s broader strategy to build a multi-brand consortium aimed at increasing the availability and adoption of Spinnova fibre across the textile industry.

The fibre can be processed using standard textile manufacturing methods similar to those used for cotton, and it can be blended with other fibres to create yarns and fabrics. In terms of application, Spinnova fibre is suitable for many of the same end uses as cotton, including trousers, denim, overshirts, jackets, T-shirts, and accessories.

“At Armedangels, we make products people love with the least harm to the planet,” said Päivi Eräpuu, Innovation and Circularity Manager at Armedangels. “Our Impact Roadmap constantly pushes us to explore new materials that can lower our footprint — and that’s exactly why Spinnova fits so well with our vision. Their fibre-making approach is fundamentally different and shows real potential as an alternative to cotton. Introducing new materials takes time, but once we commit, we go all in. Together, we want to explore the role Spinnova can play in our future collections.”
