Introduction of "ICICLE"
Based on the concept of “Made in Earth,”ICICLE promotes environmentally friendly manufacturing by using high-quality natural materials. Designed in collaboration with an atelier in Paris and a studio in Shanghai, it is a global brand that mainly sells products produced in its own factory in China.
Philosophy of ICICLE
- Coexistence with Nature - ICICLE's philosophy is MADE IN EARTH. With a minimalist and contemporary style, the focus is on comfort and the use of elegant, high-quality natural materials.
-Clothing inspired by nature- Our approach to fashion is to protect the planet and feel protected at the same time. It is as if the body, mind and environment are woven into one big nature.
- Natural materials - cashmere, linen, wool, silk, cotton. These are our five basic ingredients. We travel the world in search of superior fabric producers with ethical practices. The materials are expressed in natural colors and textures obtained mainly by using vegetable dyes. Our creativity makes it softer and more comfortable like a cocoon.
