Safety is a Luxury

Tachisse De Beun

"Safety should never be taken for granted."

WHAT ‘Safety is a Luxury’ is a collection of protective knits — not for policemen, FBI agents or the military, but for ordinary citizens. WHY Worldwide, there are many places where dodging bullets and bombs has become part of everyday life. What if the same would happen to us? Tachisse de Beun’s new clothing line is about feeling and being safe. Bold and imposing silhouettes give the wearer a sense of empowerment and live up to that promise: they are all bulletproof. HOW With a variety of double knitting techniques, ballistic panels are integrated into different structures and layers. Besides being highly protective, these unisex merino wool garments are also comfortable to wear and add a dynamic style to any wardrobe. QUOTE Safety should never be taken for granted.
