After Iris van Herpen and her Holobiont dress (more info in this Boudoir Numérique article), Balenciaga and its jewelry in collaboration with the designer Shahar Livne (read here) or the Spanish stylist Yvan Andreu (read here), it is Mango's turn to be seduced by 3D printing for a second capsule collection of accessories using this additive manufacturing method consisting of stacking successive layers of materials.

Thus, since May 3, are available, on the website of the Spanish brand, jewelry with floral motifs, a choker, two pairs of earrings and a necklace, as well as an organza collar, sandals and a bag decorated with daisies. The flowers of these accessories are made by 3D printing, "using biodegradable and compostable plant-based materials," notes Mango, in the description of the pieces that are part of its "sustainable 3D collection" (images below : Mango).

This capsule collection was made in collaboration with the 3D printing company Comme des Machines which added, five days ago, on its Instagram account, that the brand also used "natural dyes of turmeric, sandalwood, spinach, onion, indigo". This is the second time that Mango has worked with this Spanish company. A first collection of 3D printed jewelry had already been marketed in February 2020.
