Cool, modern, innovative: the ADDITIONALS of the hour
Additionals Spring.Summer 23 #3
Although MUNICH FABRIC START and BLUEZONE couldn’t be realised physically in the end of January, we want to give our beloved exhibitors and long-term partners the chance to present their collections for Spring.Summer 23 online. We are presenting the most inspiring developments, prints and innovations in all our areas: FABRICS, ADDITIONALS, BLUEZONE, DESIGN STUDIOS, SOURCING & KEYHOUSE.
The labels, buttons, ribbons & Co. of the hour are cool, modern and innovative – this is shown by the latest developments of the MUNICH FABRIC START exhibitors Bornemann Etiketten, Creativ Knopf, Mokuba by Ribbon Line, Olimpias Group and Société Choletaise de Fabrication.
Bornemann-Etiketten GmbH

CK Creativ Knopf
This season, optimism is returning to fashion. The female body is celebrated with bold colors, transparency and short minis – Creativ Knopf accentuates these trends with brightly colored accessories, shiny metal finishes, decorative shapes and lovely details. In menswear, Spring.Summer 23 also shows a touch of fresh and lively colors. While the suit remains unchallenged in men’s fashion, the traditional monochrome looks give designers the option to follow tradition and rewrite it.
————————————————————————–
Mokuba by Ribbon Line S.L.
The three pillars of Mokuba‘s Spring.Summer 23 collection are: TO BE CONTEMPORARY – creating articles in harmony with the present time and following the fashion trends. TO BE UNIVERSAL – If articles are perfect in quality, style, colour, etc. it is obvious that sometimes, somewhere, someone will be inspired to create something original. TO BE PERFECT – perfection is something essential in our products.

Nilorn Germany GmbH
For Spring.Summer 23, the focus is on labels and trims with a more biobased input. Nilorn introduces textile labels in TencelTM, organic cotton and linen and embroidered badges in viscose. There is also a high potential in the area of vegan leather alternatives – which is why Nilorn shows different options like cork with a fully biobased backing, Piñatex® apple-leather or FSC jacron.

UNION KNOPF
The Spring.Summer 23 collection is a response to global trends that herald a period of respite after the pandemic. The priority is sustainable development and respect for nature, hence the emphasis on natural and upcycling materials, from which buttons, press studs, stoppers, buckles and other environmentally friendly clothing accessories for women’s and men’s fashion were made.

ReSOURCE: Sustainable Leather & Alternatives
Here’s what to look for in Leather Alternatives at ReSOURCE
Whatever has led you here, you are already thinking about the reasons a brand has for choosing between the seemingly massive range of leathers and leather alternatives available. This decision usually begins with a basic understanding of the manufacturing processes in order to decide, does the final material reflect brand values, share brand beliefs and share the same innovative approach? To help choose the best option for you, we provide material highlights from our recent showcase on ReSOURCE to directly connect you with industry partners who can support in your next steps.
There are over 50 kinds of sustainable textile and material certifications used across our materials showcased online and at our shows with ReSOURCE. Get to know which 4 you should be familiar with when it comes to sourcing sustainable leathers and leather alternative materials:
Leather Standard by Oeko-Tex
Specifically tailored to leather articles which have been tested for harmful substances. Certification can be awarded for leather semi-finished products, finished leather, leather fibre materials up to finished articles and accessories.
Look for Leather Standard by Oeko-Tex certified materials if you are interested in:
- using real leather materials
- materials which are committed to reducing their chemical use and using safer alternatives
- ensuring your products are harmless to health
Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex
All types of textiles that have been tested for harmful substances, from yarns to the finished product, may bear the STANDARD 100 product label.
Look for Oeko-Tex 100 certified materials if you are interested in:
- certified materials with an innovative approach
- materials which are committed to reducing their chemical use and using safer alternatives
- ensuring your products are harmless to health
V-Label by European Vegetarian Union (EVU)
The only requirement of this certificate is that the product is vegan/vegetarian, meaning the product must not contains products of animal origin; no animal auxiliaries may be used during the production process.
Look for V-Label certified materials:
- to ensure materials which are vegan, cruelty free and animal friendly
- to include in brand marketing, communication and raise brand awareness
- support the development of further innovative textile and accessories vegan alternatives
Cradle to Cradle by Cradle to Cradle (C2C)
Cradle to cradle (C2C) is an approach to a continuous and consistent recycling management. “Cradle-to-cradle products” are therefore those that can either be returned to biological cycles as biological nutrients or can be continuously kept in technical cycles as “technical nutrients”.
Look for Cradle to Cradle certified materials if you are interested in:
- ensuring production is focused on reducing water wastage and usage, fostering a closed loop system using wet processes
- materials which are committed to reducing their chemical use and using safer alternatives
- materials which use reduced energy in the supply chain, with use of renewable energy with minimal reliance on petro-chemicals
- materials which reduce and recycle waste throughout the textile supply chain
Other sustainable certifications to get to know when sourcing sustainable leathers & alternatives include: IVN Naturleder, Recycled Claim Standard (RCS) + Global Recycled Stand (GRS)
