The human impact of the recent pandemic gives a new perspective on consumption habits, so Calik has developed a new series of products that align with the new consumer priorities around limitarianism to the need for protection and comfort. Dialing into this new demand, Calik presents Washpro Technology, a new fibre innovation with heightened awareness around hygiene, health and wellness. The new collection of jeans are designed using Calik’s latest Functionage fabrics which feature anti-microbial and self-cleaning properties that mean jeans stay fresher for longer and dramatically reduce the need for homewashing. In addition, Calik has enhanced these fabrics with DualFx technology to promote long lasting form and increased comfort.
Calik’s Washpro Technology not only serves as daily functional hygiene and comfort but it also helps end consumers understand and improve their impact in the sustainability chain by becoming more conscious about washing their jeans less. Washpro Technology is durable up to 50 household washings as tested during industrial washings. In addition to this technology that provides antibacterial properties, in preparation for any further viral outbreaks, Calik is also in the process of developing new fibre innovations that feature antiviral properties. Calik Denim continues to run its lab trials and test processes that is expected the results of these developments to be available in the next one to two months. 
Supply Chain Reshoring Puts Turkey into Focus

Whilst the priority at present is to contain the spread of this deadly virus and help the individuals affected, as an industry we’re all too aware of the impact on the fashion supply chain and our potential over-reliance on Far East production. The disruption is undoubtedly hastening many retailers and suppliers to reassess their supply chains within the global textile industry. It is expected that Turkey will take on an even stronger leading role as a producer beyond the pandemic, especially for countries that are dependent on foreign production. Turkey’s expert history in denim production along with its central position within Europe will make it a crucial proposition for brands and retailers, whose fast-track and capsule collections are dependent on very short lead times and high flexibility from suppliers and factories.
