AN OPERA CAMPI INVENTION
moon button
The world's first button treated only by nature. This is the result of a three day burying process. It may look like a little moon, but it's actually the most earthly fashion accessory you've ever touched.
the moon button
Any metal accessory in the fashion industry requires chemicals and polluting processes (galvanic) to dye and protect the metals.
Moon Button is a simple, revolutionary idea, to make a more sustainable, good looking button.
Our metallurgical laboratory in Parma forges a custom, 100% Zamak button. Zamak is among the lightest and most sustainable metals.
We bury the button for three days in special vases filled with microorganism-rich soil.
Button is then washed, then engraved with our text.
The result is astonishing: a sustainable, earthly detail for our products.
zamak buttons
Zamak is the favourite material in our accessories. It's ultralight, resistant, has less impact than any other metal and it's even cheap.
The zamak buttons are lighter than plastic, with a natural material shape and texture.
special treatment
waxemp
To date, there is no reliable natural technology to make a fabric waterproof. Only plastic substances provide a high level of waterproofing. The truth is that, for most people, our everyday backpack doesn't need to withstand torrential downpours. Therefore, for the first time in history, we have treated Hemp with beeswax. Beeswax is one a reliable natural method for waterproofing fabric. It ensures resistance to regular rain, and to be sure, we applied double the amount of beeswax generally recommended. The result is the first waxed Hemp ever woven.
made in Huadu
Opera Campi produces everything in Italy. However, when we have a dream and cannot find the necessary quality in our country, such as for the production of backpacks, we turn to countries with greater specialization. In the Huadu district of China, they specialize in making technical backpacks. Producing a backpack in China costs more because, between shipping and customs, the cost remains high for a complex backpack. Therefore, we ship our fabrics, made in Italy, to China, where small quantities are produced at a time, and we receive them in Italy ready to be delivered to our customers.
printing technology
aquaprint
Ecological digital print with water based inks. A patented Kornit™ system minimizes ink usage, and preserves the organicity of the fabric. Handfeel is much lighter than a traditional print, this testifies the minimum amount of ink on the surface of the fabric.
