ReLon® stands for a modern interpretation of luxury: high-quality, functional and responsibly designed. The material is based on finely woven nylon made from ECONYL® yarn, which is obtained from recycled nylon materials such as discarded fishing nets, ocean plastic and carpet fibers. Instead of consuming new resources, existing material is returned to its original structure and processed into a particularly robust, durable fiber.
The result is a soft, supple yet durable material with water-repellent properties - ideal for everyday use, travel and demanding photography. By using recycled materials, crude oil can be saved and CO₂ emissions reduced.
At Oberwerth, ReLon® is processed with the utmost care and refined with high-quality fittings and fine leather applications. The result is a material image that does not see sustainability as a compromise, but as a contemporary form of functional luxury. ReLon® combines technical performance, a pleasant feel and a stylish variety of colors - for photographers who make conscious choices and yet do not want to compromise on the Oberwerth standard.
