The company also points out the MVTM collection uses more than three quarters (77%) of raw materials sourced from sustainable, natural and regenerative sources. These include recycled polyester, organic, Better Cotton Initiative-certified cotton, and bio-based fabrics such as modal, Tencel, and hemp.
