“With great pride”, Muntagnard announced on LinkedIn that the company is the official sustainable clothing partner of the traditional club HC Davos from this ice hockey season. The partnership will see the manufacturer, which develops clothing to be as environmentally friendly and circular as possible, kit out the 1st team players and employees with everyday and casual clothing. The HC Davos logo features on two items in the collection: the Mangola Supreme T-shirt and the Legna-Merino knitted sweater 365. Both items are currently available in limited quantities at the flagship store in Chur.

According to Muntagnard, the Mangola product line is designed to rethink cotton: "With meticulous precision and dedication, we have spent years tinkering to find the perfect combination of quality and sustainability in beautiful fabrics." Muntagnard also makes clothing from wood, or ‘legna’ in Italian. For the pieces in the Legna-Merino line, the clothing manufacturer blends merino wool with cellulose fibers extracted from wood. These are then processed into a yarn and woven or knitted into fabrics.

"We think and act in terms of the circular economy," writes Muntagnard on its website. The entire product - from design to recycling - is designed for the circular economy. The company is looking forward “enormously” to the collaboration with HC Davos: “Two companies with roots in the canton of Graubünden that share the same goals for an innovative and more sustainable future,” according to the LinkedIn post. Muntagnard is currently showcasing in a radicant Bank pop-up store at Bahnhofstrasse 1 in Zurich. ce/mm
