Our Commitment to Protecting the Environment

At Remo Tulliani, we strive to protect the environment while making accessories that stand up to any challenge in terms of style and craft. We want the right choice to be as easy as putting on a pair of our sustainable socks.

Our personal relationships with material manufacturers throughout the world, the balance, the design, and the feel and fit of the product are all important. That’s why we work with the best factories and suppliers around the world to source only the finest and most responsible materials.

We care about the environment and believe we can all make a difference. That’s why we are making quality products that will last you a lifetime out of materials that reduce our environmental impact.

The reason we make Belts, Sunglasses and Socks is that we know how to make them better!

Exceptional Quality. Unparalleled Performance. Sustainable Products.

Sustainable Socks

If you haven’t tried our sustainable performance dress socks yet, you’re missing out. Each pair is thoughtfully and uniquely designed by Remo Tulliani. Crafted from Tulliani Yarn, a sustainable earth friendly material, these socks are the peak of performance technology. They are soft, breathable, anti-bacterial, odor resistant and made to last. Treat your feet and the environment.

The Material: Environmental Perspective

Our socks are made with Tulliani Yarn, the environmental champion of all the synthetic fibers. 
Tulliani Yarn is a highly engineered new yarn technology that begins with the reclamation of material that would have otherwise been waste. Tulliani Yarn requires less energy to be manufactured and produces a minimal amount of by-products, minimizing the environmental impact. The performance properties of Tulliani Yarn are inherent to the yarn itself, it requires no finishes or chemicals and is 100% recyclable. The processes used to manufacture other yarns, such as polyester and nylon, are much more complex and can involve potentially harmful chemicals that harm the environment.

Sustainable Sunglasses

Remo discovered the team that makes the best lenses in the world. These sunglasses are only made with 4 materials. Sand, water, oxygen, and fire. These sunglasses feel different. They are designed to last. They feel sturdy and look amazing. They are handcrafted in Italy with sturdy monel frames, complimenting Grilamid arms and shatter resistant glass lenses. The attention to detail doesn’t stop there, each of these materials was sourced with the intent to reduce our environmental impact.

The Materials: Environmental Perspective

To make sure our sunglasses last you a lifetime our frames are made from Monel metal. Monel is a high strength metal that is completely corrosion resistant and will ensure your sunglasses last. These sunglasses are the best of both worlds. High quality materials that contribute to reducing our environmental impact. Unparalleled performance and style that will last you a lifetime.

The frames and arms of our sunglasses are made from Grilamid to give them superior strength and a long life. We use Grilamid instead of other plastics because it has a proven contribution toward reducing environmental impact. Grilamid is a high strength plastic that is made from the bio-based renewable raw material, castor-oil. It can be reprocessed or recycled but these sunglasses are so strong and stylish you’ll never have to.

Grilamid is made from bio-based renewable raw materials and can be reprocessed or recycled. These sunglasses are so strong and stylish they’ll last you a lifetime with proper care.

The lenses on our sunglasses are glass instead of plastic. Glass lenses are 100% recyclable, long lasting and made from natural materials and have a smaller impact on the environment when compared to plastic lenses.

Sustainable Belts

Our leather belts are made from the finest Italian leather and carry the oils of purpose and functionality. We are proud to say our leather is sourced from a tannery in Italy who has earned their Environmental Management System Certification. We only work with manufactures that align with our environmental goals to ensure that we remain environmentally responsible.

Our belts are made from the finest and most environmentally responsible leather. Our leather is sourced directly from an Italian tannery that holds their Environmental Management System Certificate. Our leather supplier complies with all of the environmental requirements of the Institute of Quality Certification to ensure the most sustainable production of leather. 

What happens to the leather that won’t be used for belts? Remaining materials from belts are put into producing Wallets to reduce waste!
