Too Hot to Handle contestant Francesca Farago is introducing a venture called Farago the Label to introduce cruelty-free, biodegradable swimwear with quality fabrics. The new swimwear brand is distinguishing itself from many others in the industry by making use of fine fabrics from Italy and transforming them into sustainable styles with the aid of a vegan-certified Brazilian manufacturer—and excess materials are used to create beds for animal shelters.
As Farago describes, "I chose a vegan manufacturer, consisting of a small team of 15 people, working in amazing conditions, only using cruelty-free textiles. Our fabric is biodegradable and recyclable and the process to make the fabric is not energy-intensive and uses recycled water."
