Franco-Swiss entrepreneur is setting new standards for reusable masks of PET recycled fabrics

The Basel-born company founder Sophie Chiquet has been creating, developing and producing uniforms and workwear for more than 20 years. At the outbreak of the pandemic, she immediately anticipated that the countless disposable masks could mean disaster for the oceans. Therefore, the innovative textile entrepreneur decided without further ado to develop 'Protective Clothing' alongside 'Corporate Fashion' and started to produce reusable fabric barrier masks. In close cooperation with experts from the science and medical sectors, the pioneer is now launching the third generation of washable fabric masks. These are antiviral-treated, hydrophobically coated and certified according to AFNOR SPEC S76-001, CWA and OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100. They are not only kind to the environment, but also to the wallet, and with their functional design also serve as a fashion statement.
