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.

ADVICE:

• Machine washing is strongly discouraged to preserve the shape and properties of the material.
• Clean the nolyn with a soft brush, using cold water and a mild soap.
• Optional: waterproof your shoes with a product suitable for the material. 
• Reapply the waterproofing every 3 to 6 months.
• Let them dry naturally, in open air and in the shade, away from any heat source to avoid discoloration.
