At the heart of the line is the innovative HEX fabric, inspired by the molecular structure of carbon: its distinctive hexagonal weave reflects a technological and elegant character. The material is made from 91% recycled polyester and 8% polyurethane, with leather finishes, confirming Piquadro’s focus on sustainable innovation. Its main features include water repellency, lightness, resistance and cutting-edge aesthetics, enhanced by details such as the customisable Monogram Plate, satin-finish metal elements and minimalist profiles.
