A line of knitted items containing organic materials that offer a variety of solutions for the daily life of nursing mothers.

At the heart of this project are the needs of nursing women, who experience physiological difficulties such as congestion, milk leaking, cracked nipples, and more. The project began with material and structural research that led to developing a functional 3D textile surface with which to make pregnancy and nursing bras.

The bras were knitted with a computerized fully fashioned technique, allowing the creation of complex structures to the point of a multi-layered three-dimensional form, which comes out of the machine in a complete layout with no need for cutting and barely any sewing.

An additional component of the bra is a combination of organic/bioplastic materials and cabbage (scientific name: brassica oleracea) extract, which helps ease the congestion in the chest of the nursing mother.

 

Materials: nylon thread, polyester thread, Lycra thread, purple and white cabbage extract, bioplastics

Techniques: industrial knitting machine, making cabbage extract, creating a mixture of bioplastics.
