W's Route Shirt Dress

The first thing to pack for any summer trip. Route Shirt Dress is a functional and simplistic dress in feather soft recycled polyester to wear to the beach, when you’re out camping or travelling. 

A central part of the Houdini design philosophy is making things that last. Garments that by their high quality, versatile functionality and timeless looks simply don’t need to be replaced. The Route Shirt Dress was designed to be the perfect travel companion for a summer vacation. It’s light enough to wear to the beach on a hot summer day, but tough enough to go hiking or camping in.

Route Shirt Dress is made in Wish Woven, a super light polyester fabric made from 70% recycled and 100% recyclable fibers. It has a good stretch and an incredibly soft touch against the skin. It dries in no time, making it perfect to wear on top of your swimwear. The light fabric is highly packable and it can be stowed in the side pocket.

We can recommend Route Shirt Dress if you are looking for a comfortable dress to wear for any summer adventure. It can tag along both to the mountain and the beach for many years to come.

This product is completely recyclable. Please return it to us when it’s worn out. We have recycling units in all our own stores and at many retailers. When we get it back, we can recycle the raw materials and make new clothes out of it. Nothing goes to waste!

Base layers, everyday garments and fleece made of synthetic fabrics

When washing clothes made of synthetic fabrics, the use of a washing bag becomes even more important: It prevents microplastics from entering into rivers and oceans.

• Air clothes instead of washing to save water, energy and to make the garments last longer.
• Use a washing bag to protect your garments and to prevent fibers from leaking. When cleaning the bag and filter in the machine, make sure to wipe it clean and throw the lint in your trash can. Never rinse it in water since we don’t want the fibers to end up in lakes or oceans.
• Machine wash cold.
• Use mild environmentally certified detergents and make sure to use the right dose.
• Avoid fabric softener. Besides being harmful for our environment, they have a negative impact on the garment performance, mainly moisture transportation and breathability.
• Do not dry in dryer. This exposes both the garment and the environment to unnecessary wear and tear. Most polyester garments dry quickly anyway.
• Hang dry.

Circular

This product is fully circular, meaning that it's made either from recycled and recyclable or renewable and biodegradable fibers. Most products in today's society are made in a linear lifecycle, where earth's resources are extracted, used and then discarded. This is not working in the long run and comes at a great environmental impact. Instead, we want to close the loop and reuse the material we already have. But we need your help. When your Houdini garments are completely worn out, please return them to us through the recycling units we have in all our own stores and at many retailers.

Recycled

At least 50% of the fibers in this garment come from recycled sources, either recycled clothes or other sources like PET bottles. We mainly use recycled polyester, which has many benefits. It reduces both CO2 emissions and water use compared to virgin polyester. How much depends on the type of recycling. One of our suppliers show 32% less CO2 emissions and 94% less water use for mechanically recycled polyester. In addition to the impact in production, the major shift is using "waste" as raw material instead of crude oil.

Recyclable

The fabric in this garment is fully recyclable. Instead of becoming waste, the raw material can be used for new products. Our goal is that by 2030, we will take no raw material to our products from the earth's crust. Circular products, made from reycled and recyclable materials are a real game changer, but we need your help for the system to work. When your Houdini garments are completely worn out, please return them to us. We have recycle units in all of our own stores and at many retailers.
