Banuq is a clothing label for men based on the concept of classic and timeless garments inspired by the lifestyle of contemporary explorers and people on the move. Each garment demonstrates a relaxed yet elegant approach to fashion with a particular attention to detail and craftsmanship.
Banuq´s philosophy embodies a strong commitment to making a positive impact on environment and society using exclusively certified organic fabrics and bringing ethics into action in all its business practices. Banuq struggles to be active in the many different dimensions of sustainability ranging from creating a fully ethical and organic supply-chain, all the way through the low mileage limited editions, like the Made in Italy heritage collection.
In the rapidly evolving field of environment conscious production, Banuq is persuaded that constant experimentation for new solutions is the only possible approach. That's why at Banuq we are constantly challenging our own solutions to check whether they can be improved or replaced in an endless process of innovation that fosters new inspirations.
Being small helps Banuq to stay flexible without getting trapped in its own habits. Its supply-chain is not a single one, but it is composed by a series of parallel combinations. This allows to try several new ways on different styles at the same time. Thanks to this demanding but incredibly exciting approach Banuq manages to give a chance to the newest available concepts. And that's why presently in the Banuq collection you can find styles that put the emphasis on various issues: use of organic certified fibers, social improvement, support of traditional craftsmanship, promotion of low water consumption crops like hemp, use of accessories made out of waste materials like coconut shell buttons, use of the latest G.O.T.S., vegetal and mineral dyeing techniques, use of reclaimed, recycled or up-cycled materials.
As the Banuq team always repeat to themselves: "stay hungry... stay foolish!"
