In this episode of The WTiN Podcast, we talk to Federico Sainz de Robles, founder and CEO at Sepiia.   

Born in 2016, Sepiia creates garments that ‘make your life easier while taking care of the planet’. The company mixes material technology with fashion, so every product is benefitted from odour control technology, stain repellency, breathability, comfort and more. 

In this podcast, Sainz de Robles explains how the company came about from his love of fashion and science. He first studied to be an industrial design engineer and then moved to fashion school and then spent a year studying textile technology. These scientific and technical skills coupled with his love for fashion placed him in the perfect position to launch Sepiia. 

Later on in the podcast he talks about the company’s products and new Smart Shirt 3.0 that has added wellness benefits, and how his end goal is to create a whole wardrobe of smart fashion. He also emphasis the company’s approach to sustainability and how customers are now demanding comfort and added health benefits from their clothing, thanks to Covid-19.
