Arpex promotes a proactive approach to sustainability, establishing itself as a reliable partner for companies seeking innovation and responsibility.
From the region Puglia, Italy, to the world, Arpex is specialized in the production and distribution of textile accessories, laces and tapes for footwear. Born as a family business, over the years Arpex has been able to combine artisan tradition with technological innovation, becoming a reliable partner for the most important brands in the fashion system.
Giuseppe Musti, Order Management Manager at Arpex, explains the company philosophy: “Innovation is in our DNA: every year we launch new collections that forecast market trends. This year we brought to the fair a series of innovations resulting from our constant attention to market trends and customer requests. The real difference is made by the yarn, which embellishes basic laces in different shapes, such as flat or round. Among the most interesting innovations, there are the laces made of wool-effect yarns, which offer a unique softness and sensation of warmth. We also presented laces in chenille yarn, which stand out for their texture and soft appearance. There is also no shortage of lurex laces, a material that is back in the spotlight for its brilliance and its metallic effect. Finally, great attention to the bold laces, which we could define as oversized. In addition to these innovations, we also offer a wide range of customizable printed tapes, which can be tailor-made to meet the needs of each customer.”
Arpex has always cared about the environment and sustainability. The company makes use of recycled and certified yarns, also offering customers the opportunity to sample dye their products.
“Sustainability is an essential value for Arpex: we have been concretely committed to it for years, enlarging our range of yarns with 100% recycled options. Apart from some special yarns, almost all of our products can be made with this eco- friendly alternative. Our warehouse boasts a wide range of colors in recycled yarns, also offering the possibility of sample dyeing. In this way, we meet the specific needs of each customer, ensuring utmost customization. Sustainability is a value increasingly sought after by our customers, who consider it a necessary element in their choices. For this reason, we only use certified yarn suppliers, showing our real commitment to the environment”.
