THE CREATIVE PROCESSThe collaboration we've done with Barner is probably already familiar to followers of our Instagram feed. Furthermore, you have been able to see them through different influencers who have collaborated with this project. We've launched a line of products exclusively for both Trendsplant and Barner teams. Additionally, for a group of people spreading the message: together, we can improve our planet. Any company can make a positive impact on the planet by using its influence for good. The possibilities are endless if several companies work together. It would be clearer that decision-making should consider both the planet and the people who live on it when taking action. By using ethical local production methods, working with certified organic materials, and offering reusable packaging, we prioritize those interests. PLANET AND FASHION Fashion produces 10% of the planet's carbon emissions and consumes the second most amount of water. There is definitely room for improvement in the fashion industry: it needs to become more environmentally friendly and sustainable. In association with Barner, we have created this pack of products for our closest community. There is much more to our mission than spreading a message. We will plant five trees for every mention of this collaboration on social networks. Sustainability and social awareness are among Trendsplant's priorities. As a result, we always strive to protect the environment, join organizations that share these values, and create products that meet these needs.Our impact can be doubled by joining forces with like-minded companies like Barner and making a difference. IN BARNER WE TRUST Barner was founded in early 2017 by two friends. They identified a problem affecting millions of people all over the world: excessive exposure to blue light. The long hours they spent in front of screens every day were too much for their eyes. The pair decided to create their own glasses in order to protect their eyes, improve their quality of life, and keep their style intact. It was inevitable that we would work together one day. We have known each other for a long time, and we have known their product for a long time. Most of all because we've always been captivated by their motto: "we believe that all companies should be more than just businesses; they should also have souls." This translates into “[companies] not only focusing on doing the right thing for their consumers and developing great products, but keeping their values ​​close, standing up for what they believe in, and giving something back to the community.”

Have you ever wondered why most of the time when someone asks you about your season preferences they ask...Are you a summer or winter person? Hey there! What's the deal with spring and fall? :)We grew up in an area that is famous for summer, Costa Blanca is packed with beautiful beaches and we have great weather all year round. Alicante's spring and fall seasons are incredible (for locals even better than summer, with milder temperatures).Our February release, “Hikers Delight: Mariola”, featured bright colors inspired by the aromatic herbs found in the nearby natural reserve of Mariola.This Fall, it's time to show you Vall de Gallinera and its popular cherry trees, another area that has incredible fall colors.Vall de Gallinera is located around 90kms away from Alicante, heading inland very close to Mariola in the Marina Alta region, it covers an area of around 55 square kilometers and approximately 600 inhabitants populate the 5 villages that compose it.In this collection - part of the Pigment Dye pack, inspired by flora and fauna from the Mediterranean Coast - the colors of Fall in the area are the star, Cherry, and Poplar trees with their leaves turning from light orange to red leaving shades that evoke what the Japanese define perfectly as Koyo (autumn leaves).This collection covers both men's and women’s categories and is composed of t-shirts, sweaters, zip sweaters, pants, and accessories such as tote bags, all dyed using pigments.  PIGMENT DYEThis is a very particular type of dyeing, that uses fewer enzymes to stick color to the cotton fabric and thus we get a more superficial color.In this technique, the chemicals are less toxic and least polluting and the color fades with repeated use and wash, as happens with denim, providing a fantastic vintage look.PRE-ORDERSeveral of our releases have relied on this system over the past few years. WHY? This allows us to adjust orders more accurately, leaving fewer items behind at the end of each season, which means that no clothing is forgotten in a warehouse.The benefits? As a result, if we are more precise with quantities, we can adjust the price; consequently, those who place their orders in the first 10 days will receive a 15% discount, in the next 10 days, you'll get a 10% off retail prices, and in the last 10 days before the actual release, you'll get 5% off.

This isn’t the first pre-order we’ve launched, nor will it be the last.

Our connection to the Mediterranean is unique, close, and special. Each collection provides a new opportunity to remind you of its influence.We have paid different tributes to our region over the years: its cities, special places, and characteristic buildings.This year, the fruit has inspired us to create the new Citrus Pack collection in homage to the region’s most typical crops.Using a palette of three colors (green, orange, and white), we have depicted the growth of the fruit from when it flowers to when it ripens. Four varieties, four optionsLet’s discuss the varieties lending their name to the different Citrus Pack garments.The Okitsu mandarin originated in Japan from the Miyagawa seed. It’s harvested between October and January and is very juicy.It lends its name to a T-shirt made on a special loom for striped fabric. Combining green, white, and orange, it is wholly manufactured in Portugal, as usual.  The Navel orange is one of the best-known Valencian fruits. It’s sweet with smooth skin and is harvested from November to May.It inspired us to design a two-color shirt (green and white) with embroidery on the chest. This garment is wholly manufactured in Portugal too.  The Clementine is the inspiration for another new garment made in Portugal, a combination of two colors (orange and white).We love the history of this variety of citrus. The clementine is said to result from mixing the pollen of mandarin and orange trees.  The Mikan t-shirt is one of our favorites. Mikan is the Japanese word for tangerine. It’s one of the strongest links between Spanish and Japanese culture.The completely orange Mikan T-Shirt has a breast pocket and is wholly manufactured in Portugal.  The unknown origin of OwariThe Owari satsuma tree is strong and vigorous. It’s grown in Japan, in Comunidad Valenciana, its origins unknown. In a late-flowering tree, the fruit it produces is not harvested until the fall.We use the Owari colors in our Citrus Pack swimming trunks, which are made in Portugal from SEAQUAL® YARN.As mentioned before, SEAQUAL® YARN comes from plastics collected from oceans, seas, and rivers by organizations linked to the SEAQUAL INITIATIVE.  Ancestral traditionCitrus crops have been present in Mediterranean culture from the moment the purest varieties were brought to Spain more than 2,000 years ago.But the varieties we know today did not take root in the Mediterranean region until well into the 15th century.We are amazed by how this crop has evolved over thousands of years, and by how it remains such a central part of the lives and works of thousands of people. 

We continue to improve by reducing the footprint our activity leaves on the planet. We’re not yet 100% sustainable. It is a target we aim for, but we still have a long way to go.Every day we do everything possible to minimize our impact on the environment and ensure our activity has a positive effect on society.This is why we’re happy to announce a new product: shorts made in Spain.Inspired by climbing clothing, this new garment features an elasticated waist and a built-in belt. Latest technologyTo dye these shorts we use Eco-Finish Dye technology, which reduces the consumption of water in the process by more than 90%.We have also reduced our consumption of chemical products and our carbon footprint by half, as we don’t need the energy to heat the water we no longer use.The dye is applied to the garment through nebulization, a more sustainable and efficient process. In a traditional bath, the medium through which the dye travels is water: with micro-nebulization, the medium is air.The manufacturing process is cold, significantly reducing energy costs.The cotton fabric contains a small percentage of elastane to provide the everyday comfort you need.These shorts feature a YKK zip, side and back pockets, and the logo embroidered onto the fabric.There’s more. They bear the “Made in Green” stamp certifying environmental sustainability in manufacturing. Pre-order once moreAs we recently explained, launching a garment on the market via pre-order helps us to fine-tune the amount to be produced in advance.We can calculate the ideal retail price better, and above all, we can reduce stock and storage costs.And not only that, tightly-adjusted production means less impact on the planet.There are many benefits to pre-order, and it also has a positive impact on the customer.Since there are benefits for Trendsplant (we produce the optimum amount, reduce the storage costs and stock), that allows us to give our customers a 15% discount.
