Increase awareness towards the microplastics plague – to which sportswear contributes drastically – and have a scalable impact. Through a complete functional multilayer collection, we demonstrate that biodegradable, nature inspired solutions are not only more comfortable, but often more performant than synthetic equivalents.

Our core mission was to launch the first ever thermal regulatory collection that was 100% plastic free. In a search for greater performance and breathability, we have designed a new generation of sportswear using natural fabrics, a collection which accompanies us through the terrain rather than confronting the natural weather conditions.

We all like to be dressed in nature. Cotton, wool, silk, hemp, nettle, linen are the best natural fabrics in terms of their performance - they respond to our body offering full protection in times of trouble, and just enough circulation in times of warmth. When applied to sportswear, to make these materials compete with synthetics, it all depends on how you think, weigh, weave, assemble, sew, combine and use.

Our products are cut and sewed in Europe by skilled and certified manufacturers, while our knitwear program is made in Inner Mongolia, the homeland of wool. All other raw materials are knitted or woven in Europe. Our labels are made in Italy and Portugal while our packaging cardboard boxes are crafted in Switzerland. Mover’s sourcing approach is always the same:  look around you before searching any further.

Our research and development is all made in-house in Lausanne, while the prototypes are field-tested and challenged by professional adventurers under real conditions, harsh weather and various temperature ranges. Most our ideas emerge from an empirical approach, where observation and comprehension of the environment are key. With the help of our dedicated team, we are able to constantly imagine, learn from our experience and instigate new paradigms.

Our partners’ crafts are precious to us and key factors to our success. On top of this, the quality of our raw materials and trims as well as our own care for details, also contribute to creating crafted products that are far from the usual industry standards. This not only justifies our eco-friendliness, promotion of local expertise and natural fibers but it is also a guarantee of product quality and integrity.

At Mover, we designed our own logistic model in order to reduce transport and distances. By sourcing fabrics and materials around our production sites, by avoiding sea and air transportation, we have a direct impact on our carbon footprint. We optimized our operations flow by appointing a logistic partner close to our production site. And when final goods come from further away, like our wool knitwear, they take the train – and a little more time - to travel to Europe by land all the way.

Think outside the box … or simply rethink the box. Without plastic and with some logic. Solid enough to be reused a few times, nice enough to be proud of, recycled enough to be upcycled, compact enough to remain affordable. We were able to completely ban plastic from our packaging, while organizing the clothes’ journey in the most sustainable way. We also minimized the wrapping and hangtags to …. One single QR code. Because Less is Beautiful and Less Harmful!

Have you ever seen a dead bird in the forest ? Neither did we, even though we trek a lot. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, complete biodegradability is our way to consider our product’s End of Life Cycle. Compostable in the true sense of the term, meaning that all the materials used, including trims, buttons, cords, threads – with no exception – will naturally end up as plant fertilizers. Or put philosophically: Leave no trace.
