A Swiss Development

Made in Europe in the world’s most exclusive luxury apparel factories and named after the Latin reference to the resident ibex that roam the area, each ski jacket and pant prioritizes insulated four-way stretch comfort and weather protection achieved through the incorporation of Japanese- and European-made fabrics that are soft at hand yet fully shelter the body from cold, wind and snow. Distinct yet understated, the winter sports collection effortlessly transitions between on-snow activities and everyday life.

Design

Cut

We set the course for a sustainable production cycle from the start. A well thought-out selection of materials, their placement, and cutting pattern allow for controlled and resource efficient processing. The origin story of All Capranea products begins in Switzerland. From drawings, to digital cutting, through to the finished prototype, Capranea develops its products here in Switzerland.

Color

Color plays an important role in sustainability. We deliberately do not follow any trends. Our color concept, like our brand, stands alone, is timeless, and exists in its own space.

Material

All material procurement is controlled entirely from Switzerland. We chose materials based on longevity, origin, recyclability, and equipment. The main focus is on longevity and recyclability. We firmly believe that an extended product life is crucial to sustainability.

Product Restoration

We are proud to offer repair support of all our products. How we stock our materials, multi-year design strategies, and the proximity to our main manufacturing partner, make it possible for us to restore both older and newer garments if needed. If you have a broken zipper, or some fabric is torn, we will repair it for you as economically and sustainability as possible. Please contact your local specialty retailer to start the process.

Sustainability

We pursue our passion with confidence and leave traces in surroundings in which sustainability is of prime importance. We structure and develop our vision in harmony with sport and nature, as an expression of our conviction. We believe that responsibility and respect should be a core value within everything we do.

We are constantly seeking for innovation in technology, material, and design. We produce long-lasting quality articles, not fast fashion. It is in the very nature of the product for us to maintain quality standards in production and the social responsibility that goes with it. That also reflects the core values of our brand.

Every phase of our product life cycle is continuously reviewed for opportunities to reduce our footprint. Careful material selection, placement, precise pattern cutting, factory country of origin, and repair support, all play an important role in the sustainable development of product.

We are constantly aiming to reach an unprecedented level of quality, not only for our products, but for all of our actions. Thanks to reliable and long-term partnerships with our suppliers and manufacturers we can achieve our ambitious goal. We work with the leading companies of functional textiles and innovation in Europe. The geographic as well as cultural proximity to our producers is a major advantage for development, and quality. Our production is largely carried out by hand with high production standards, which we also check on a regular basis.
