Grey State, in Collaboration with HeiQ, to Develop Masks Enhanced with HeiQ V-Block Technology New York, NY -October 9, 2020-Designed in response to the current pandemic, Grey State created a collection where comfort is key, and safety is paramount. The protective collection is made with comfortable fabrics with antimicrobial*, detachable face masks to complement, not complicate fashion. The face masks are enhanced with innovative HeiQ V-Block -a Swiss antimicrobial* technology which provides protection for fabrics against microbes. HeiQ V-Block technology does not irritate the skin and is non-toxic. HeiQ V-Block is US EPA registered, OEKOTEX® certified, ZDHC and bluesign® homologized. Treated textile articles are compliant with US FIFRA. "During these uncertain times, safety and comfort become top priorities when it comes to purchases. Physically and emotionally, consumers crave items that provide both reassuring comfort and a defense against external threats." Founder and CEO Saima Chowdhury states, "Here at Grey State, we offer our new 'Protective Collection'-combining both needs and offering customers items they can reach for day after day to provide built-in protection." Known for effortless style, the "Protective Collection" is an assortment of sweatshirts and hoodies crafted from the same supple fabrics for which the brand is known. Terry, eco-fleece, recycled cotton, jersey, modal and poplin in a soft, neutral color palette are accented with stars, camo, and tie-dye for a luxurious and laidback look. Zippered hood pockets and removable masks offer convenience and comfort in knowing that protection is within reach. The collection retails from $88-$98 and is available exclusively at https://greystateapparel.com/. With a focus on responsible manufacturing, Grey State continues to adhere to the UN's sustainability goals to ensure apparel is produced with the highest standards.
