Keel Labs and Mr. Bailey Launch Innovative Starboard Vest
Keel Labs, known for their sustainable textile innovation, has joined forces with London-based footwear designer Mr. Bailey to introduce a new product to the market – the Starboard Vest. This unique piece of clothing resembles a life jacket and is crafted using Keel Labs’ Kelsun™ seaweed-derived fiber, a cotton blend, and a Trapunto knit layer that provides buoyancy.
Mr. Bailey, who often draws inspiration from nature and marine life in his designs, found the collaboration with Keel Labs to be a perfect match. The Starboard Vest not only showcases his appreciation for the ocean but also aligns with Keel Labs’ mission to revolutionize the textile industry with environmentally friendly materials.
Tessa Callaghan, co-founder and CEO of Keel Labs, expressed her excitement about the partnership, stating that the Starboard Vest is a groundbreaking product that combines cutting-edge materials with the art of garment making. This collaboration allows Mr. Bailey to explore the versatility and sustainability of Kelsun™, Keel Labs’ flagship seaweed-derived fiber.
The Keel Labs x Mr. Bailey Starboard Vest is now available for purchase on the brand’s official website. Fashion enthusiasts and eco-conscious consumers alike are encouraged to check out this innovative and stylish piece that showcases the potential of sustainable fashion.
