\nChargeurs*PCC Fashion Technologies has launched its first U.S.
\nconsumer-facing division, Lainiere Health & Wellness, as well as a
\ndirect-to-consumer e-commerce website offering the new divisions collection
\nof protective face masks. The company also announced it is launching a
\npartnership with Marc Jacobs and will donate anti-microbial material made
\nby Lainiere Health & Wellness to the designer for his face mask collection,
\nwith 100 percent of the proceeds of sales benefiting UNICEF USA.\n<\/p>\n
\n“As masks were becoming the new must-wear protective accessory, we at
\nChargeurs knew immediately that we needed to leverage our expertise and
\npivot our U.S. business so we could supply consumers and our brand partners
\nwith functional, fashionable mask options,” said Angela Chan, global
\npresident and managing director of Chargeurs*PCC Fashion Technologies, in a
\nstatement. “The interlinings we make are typically hidden inside garments,
\nbut they are a crucial part of fashion and are used to create a protective
\ninterior layer in high-quality face masks for the consumer market. We’re
\nproud to now be partnering with Marc Jacobs to supply the brand with our
\nanti-microbial products to be used in masks that will be sold to benefit
\nUNICEF USA.”\n<\/p>\n
\nThe limited-edition Marc Jacobs face masks were designed using filters made
\nwith Lainiere Health & Wellness’ performance fabric, which reduces bacteria
\nby 99 percent. The masks are made by hand in New York with upcycled
\nmaterials from past Marc Jacobs collections. All proceeds from the sales of
\nthe Marc Jacobs masks will be donated to UNICEF USA to help the
\norganization as it responds to COVID-19 and assists the most at-risk
\ncommunities. Consumers can purchase the masks exclusively at MarcJacobs.com.\n<\/p>\n
