The Silver MUSE Design Award is an accolade determined by a panel of international design experts through an anonymous evaluation process. This year, the Popilush brand was recognized with this distinction for its Redtag Collection in the ready-to-wear fashion category. This recognition is based on criteria including inventive design, practical application, and sustainable qualities.
Popilush's Redtag Collection is engineered specifically for cold weather, utilizing a proprietary fabric technology that integrates recycled coffee grounds with high-elasticity materials. This composition is certified to emit a high level of far-infrared radiation (0.94 emissivity), which is reported to elevate perceived warmth rapidly and enhance thermal insulation by approximately 15%. The material also inherently provides odor control, resistance to bacteria, and moisture management due to the coffee fiber properties, while the elastic components ensure the garment maintains its shape and offers a compressive fit.
