Lilja the Label Women's Ribbed Bikers - Recycled PA, Black / S

Lilja the Label W's Ribbed Bikers - Recycled PA

Our ribbed bikers are back in an improved fit! These shorts have a flattering high waistline but without a tight elastic band inside. These shorts stay where they should but don’t dig in or pinch. They feature a double layered fabric for added support and coverage. Combine these shorts with the matching ribbed crop or any of our other items. The fabric used in these shorts is regenerated from plastic waste collected from our oceans and spun into a yarn used to make a like-new fabric from recycled origins.

Features 

• Super soft, stretchy and comfortable
• High-waisted
• Mid-thigh length
• Ethically handmade at our family-ran factory in Bali

Material

• Ribbed fabric 92%   recycled   PA (ECONYL®), 8% elastane
• Lined with recycled solid fabric – 78%   recycled   PA (ECONYL®), 22% elastane

The fabric used in this product is a nylon yarn regenerated from discarded waste plastics, such as abandoned fishing nets and plastic bottles collected from our oceans. These post-consumer waste plastics are given a new life in form of our activewear through a process that involves breaking down the nylon polymer into monomers, then regenerating the nylon into a new yarn that has qualities similar, if not even better, than virgin yarn. The breakdown process is done with only temperature and steam, without the use of harmful chemical agents, in a renewable energy driven process. Reusing nylon to make ECONYL® reduces the environmental impact of nylon by 80% compared with the material produced from crude oil. 
Size & Fit

• The waist piece in these shorts is a snug fit so if you prefer a looser fit, we recommend sizing up.
• Olivia is wearing size S in Black

Care Instructions

• You can safely machine wash your activewear at 40°C
• Do not tumble dry – it weakens the stretchy fabric
• Dry in shade to avoid fading
• Wash with similar colours to avoid discolouration
• Watch out for rough surfaces, zippers, bra clasps and buttons
