In April 2010, Industry of All Nations became an R&D office founded with a commitment to rethinking the methods of production for consumer goods. A renewed focus on bringing production back to the original makers and implementations of new manufacturing techniques have made impacts on several local areas around the world.

For our Winter Lookbook 21’, we’re featuring IOAN’s coolest and stylish products that will shape up your style for the rest of the winter season.

🔵 coats and jackets

new work jacket

The IOAN New Work Jacket is made in partnership with The New Denim Project in Guatemala City. This jacket sits somewhere between a chore coat and a field jacket and has multiple functional pockets. Hand-carved horn buttons made from by-product waste of the meat industry in Guatemala finish the product, making this garment fully biodegradable once it finishes its life cycle.

ponja jacket

The IOAN Ponja Jacket is made in Tamil Nadu, India using locally grown 100% organic cotton. Lightweight, slightly cropped, and easy to move around in, this jacket is our layer-friendly all-season garment.

🔵 tops and layers

mao madras shirt

The IOAN Mao Madras long-sleeve button-down shirt is made from 100% organic cotton locally grown in Tamil Nadu, India. A classic fit that is lightweight and perfect to wear on warmer days. 

alpaca moulinex sweater

The IOAN Alpaca Moulinex Sweater is made from 100% Alpaca wool by a Bolivian co-op of farmers, manufacturers, and knitters. Ready to be worn on its own or paired with a lightweight jacket for a casual chilly-weather look. The production of this hypoallergenic, heavy-weight sweater supports the local lifestyles, craftsmanship, and the future of this community.

🔵 bottoms

clean corduroy pants

These Corduroy Pants have been dipped 12 times in a fermented natural indigo dye vat to achieve a deep indigo color through a process that is clean for the makers, our skin, and sustainable for the environment.

new jeans

These jeans are made from cotton textile waste, which is collected from local factories and upcycled into new fabric. The sustainable production process of these jeans is waterless and does not involve any dyeing or harmful washes.

🔵 accessories

sport espadrilles

Walking on history, these shoes are made with completely natural materials from the earth and are biodegradable, meaning they can be decomposed by bacteria and other living organisms in the ground after use. The upper is made from 100% cotton to provide breathability and comfort, while the sole is comprised of 100% jute for durability. With zero added rubber or plastic, the IOAN espadrilles make for sustainable footwear that does not harm the environment. 

alpaca beanie

This beanie hat is undyed meaning that the color of the fibers comes completely from the superfine, natural hairs of the alpaca that are transformed into yarn for artisans to knit. The sustainable process of only using virgin fibers in their undyed state reduces pollution, conserves resources, and allows the natural qualities of the materials to be appreciated for what they are.

alpaca cabin sock

These alpaca socks are undyed meaning that the color of the fibers comes completely from the superfine, natural hairs of the alpaca that are transformed into yarn for artisans to knit. The sustainable process of only using virgin fibers in their undyed state reduces pollution, conserves resources, and allows the natural qualities of the materials to be appreciated for what they are.

alpaca poncho

This alpaca poncho is undyed meaning that the color of the fibers comes completely from the superfine, natural hairs of the alpaca that are transformed into yarn for artisans to knit. The sustainable process of only using virgin fibers in their undyed state reduces pollution, conserves resources, and allows the natural qualities of the materials to be appreciated for what they are.

sunglasses

Contemporary design meets Ethiopian hand-craftsmanship. The frame on our IOAN sunglasses is hand-carved from acetate, a plant-based material that is biodegradable. Each lens has UV protection and made from mineral glass which is created from natural elements like sand and soda ash, endlessly recyclable, and harmless to humans and animals alike. These stylish sunglasses re-think how to make products in a more sustainable way and with ethical manufacturing processes.
