Sustainability and inclusion: the partnership between Lyria and Fody
Lyria is a textile company from Prato, Italy, founded by Riccardo Bruni. Its story weaves together memory and vision: an Archive that preserves traces like a Wunderkammer, and a Factory laboratory that industrially produces fabrics with soul.
Lyria believes that every resource, when given the right value, can become an opportunity.
With this mindset, Lyria chose to partner with Fody, a social-impact startup from Pistoia, Tuscany, Italy, that gives new life to textile leftovers, turning them into useful products while creating training and inclusion paths for people in vulnerable situations and with intellectual disabilities.
Fody is an innovative start-up and benefit company that focuses on environmental protection, particularly textile recycling, and adopts revolutionary solutions in the social sphere.
Fody’s “artisans” learn how to make life-saving blankets from fabric scraps, giving them new life and distributing them to homeless people, refugees, displaced persons and animal shelters.

A special project we have decided to participate in, offering a concrete and interesting idea on how to promote sustainability in the textile sector. Together with Fody, we are committed to continuously improving as a company that believes in sustainable value from both an environmental and social perspective, enhancing the value of our fabrics.
