Osklen launches black edition collection with polygiene

Polygiene, the global leader in stays fresh technologies, has entered into a partnership with Osklen to launch a limited edition of their classic black t-shirts with Polygiene. Osklen is one of the forerunners of the New Luxury concept that advocates fashion and sustainable luxury, which fits with Polygiene’s mission to turn consumables to durables.

According to Oskar Metsavaht, founder of Osklen and currently its director of creation and style, "a brand is identified as luxurious if it involves so-called noble values. These, however, imply social concern and the preservation of natural resources for the next generations."
