Fair Trade: Becksa Bralette & Becksa 7/8 Legging

PRESS RELEASE


prAna Fair Trade Active Wear: Becksa Bralette & Legging

Feminine, fit and fair

CARLSBAD, CA (March 2019) — prAna commits to active wear, truly deserving the attribute “sustainable”. Becksa Bralette and Becksa 7/8 Legging score with features that go beyond recycled polyester. Both styles are Bluesign® and Fair Trade Certified™ and help to preserve the environment and support better working conditions for farmers as well as in production.

prAna expects a change in sportswear industry: In addition to performance and style, eco friendly aspects are increasingly involved when making purchasing decisions. Recycled polyester is a start, but by no means the ultimate. For this reason, more and more prAna styles – such as the Becksa Bralette and the Becksa 7/8 Legging – are also Bluesign® and Fair Trade Certified™.

The Swiss Bluesign® seal stands for the exclusion of environmentally harmful substances within the manufacturing process (starting with the production of raw materials). Bluesign® products fulfill the strictest ecological requirements and thus relieve water, soil and air considerably.

Fair Trade Certified™ commits to better working conditions, secure incomes and greater environmental responsibility. With the purchase of a Fair Trade Certified™ product, additional funds flow into communities for self-determined financing of local social projects.
