管理历史

Vollebak is a London-based technical outerwear and sportswear brand founded in 2015 by twin brothers Nick and Steve Tidball (b. 1979). They previously worked together in advertising as an art director and copywriter team. This experience has informed the brand’s emphasis on single product launches rather than collections, and garments designed with specific functions or material properties. Designs have included the world’s first graphene jacket, a carbon fibre T-shirt, a solar-charged jacket that stores and re-emits light, a 100-year hoodie and a full metal jacket woven from over 11 kilometres of copper yarn. Time magazine named Vollebak’s solar-charged jacket one of the best inventions of 2018 and their full metal jacket one of the best inventions of 2020. In 2019 Satish Tailor (b. 1972) was appointed head of design, and in 2022 Vollebak received an undisclosed amount from the BFC Venrex Fashion Fund.

      GRAPHENE JACKET
      Vollebak
      2019

      Discovered in 2004, graphene is the lightest, strongest, most conductive material ever found and is only a single atom thick. It has incredible heat-absorbing properties, can conduct electricity, repel bacteria, and dissipate the body’s excess humidity. Made by Vollebak, this is the world’s first jacket made from the notoriously difficult-to-manufacture material.

      Graphene, polyurethane, nylon, elastane

      GRAPHENE-COATED JACKET
      Vollebak
      2019
      In 2004, Andre Geim and Kostya Novoselov at the University of Manchester first isolated and synthesized graphene, a single-layer nanomaterial with extraordinary properties. Their work earned them the Nobel Prize in physics in 2010 and saw them knighted in the 2012 New Year’s Honours for services to science. Graphene is the first 2D material in the world and is one million times thinner than a single human hair. It is the world’s lightest and strongest transparent material that is also electrically and thermally conductive. It has incredible heat-absorbing properties, conducts electricity, repels bacteria and dissipates excess body moisture. This
      jacket by Vollebak was the first in the world to be coated with the notoriously difficult-to-manufacture material.
