The Autumn.Winter 21/22 collection presents new exciting batches, patches, hangtags, zippers, transfers and much more – inspired by the busy life in Tokyo, the sophisticated sportiness of Zermatt and the creativity of the Andes.

FRANKENBERGER FUTTERSTOFFE – H1 | B 05

The latest FM 2021/2022 Collection was the perfect opportunity to introduce this important evolution through a graphic renewal – minimalist, sober and elegant – and highly innovative products.

The Company has also committed to becoming completely green by 2025, and has dedicated the greater part of its new collection to the production of eco-friendly accessories. In fact, over 80% of the Collection uses materials and manufacturing techniques with a low impact on the environment such as recycled leather, vegetable tanning, energy saving production processes, plant based dyes, recycled or completely natural paper, often created by making creative use of industrial residue material.
