NOLYN is a modern twist by VEJA on the iconic nylon fabric. First developed in 1935 for its strength, elasticity, and resistance to heat and water, nylon quickly became a staple in fashion and technical uses, from socks to parachutes during WWII. NOLYN retains these high-performance qualities, now re-engineered with 54% polyester and 46% recycled polyester. It offers the same durability and feel, with a more responsible material choice.
