Una Ricci’s founder and CEO, Nina Ricci Eleazar, reveals how the pivot to the new normal pushed the team to find ways of making their sartorial pieces COVID-free for the benefit of their discerning clientele.
Una Ricci is a local clothing company. We use top quality machines and employ a highly skilled workforce in the manufacturing of our pieces for women. With the onset of the pandemic, we have been offering pre-washed and pre-treated clothing that are Covid-19 protective, lasting for 30 days and even after 30 washes.
After face masks, face shields, and (non-creepy) gloves, protective clothing is the final evolution of the COVID-19 armor. While personal protective equipment exists in the market, designer Nina Ricci Eleazar notes how there is a need for PPE that works with the special temperament of Philippine weather.
