Carbon is a material typically associated with automotive or construction. But the up-and-coming fashion label Assure Fashion from Essen is demonstrating that carbon also has a place in the fashion world. With its unique use of carbon in accessories such as belts, bags, and wallets, Assure Fashion brings an innovative material choice to the fashion industry that is both stylish and functional.
But how is carbon actually created? The manufacturing process, also known as carbonization or pyrolysis, involves heating carbon fibers. Under various pressure conditions, the molecules arrange themselves into chains (filaments), which ultimately form the carbon fibers. These filaments have a diameter of only 5-8 micrometers and are then further processed into carbon fabric.
Carbon fabric, or carbon fiber fabric, is created by weaving these carbon fibers on special weaving machines. Depending on the weave, various patterns and designs can be created, with the most common fabric types being plain weave or 2/2 twill. The special processing that makes the material strong, allergy-free, and suitable for fashion accessories remains the closely guarded secret of Assure Fashion GmbH.
Assure Fashion's carbon belts combine innovative materials with modern design to ensure maximum durability and style. The outer layer is made of high-quality carbon, which is not only lightweight and robust but also has a particularly elegant appearance. The interior is lined with the finest leather, ensuring comfort and durability. A practical ratchet closure allows for precise adjustment of the belt, ensuring a perfect fit down to the millimeter—ideal for everyday office wear or leisure.
Assure Fashion plans to expand its collection in the future with additional products such as travel and sports bags, crossbody bags, backpacks, and wallets. With these innovative and high-quality products, the label is making a strong statement in the fashion industry: "I show off my cash" – and more stylishly than ever.
