Tyhjiössä kehrättävän polyesterilangan ympärille sumutetaan kultapartikkeleita, ja näin saadaan lankaa, josta kultaiset alusvaatteet valmistetaan.
Gold is the epitome of luxury. Thousands of years ago princes and kings already adorned themselves with the glittering metal. And it is still a status symbol of the well-to-do even today. The St. Gall entrepreneur Sascha Hertli was quick to grasp this. He is the CEO of Rococo Dessous, a range of lingerie made from gold fabrics – a worldwide first. The products are exclusive: the “cheapest” item in the collection amounts to 1,200 Swiss francs. The prices know no limits and depend only on his clients’ wishes. The basis for the luxury products of Rococo Dessous was provided by Empa. In the laboratories in St. Gall a gold yarn was developed, which is soft and clingy and even survives several washing machine cycles without suffering any damage– the prerequisite for wearing the gold yarn on bare skin.
