Gulf Network
As the world unites to celebrate World Water Day on March 22nd,
Virgio focuses on its commitment to sustainable fashion
by adhering to one of the most crucial issues- water conservation. The Fashion industry consumes the largest amount of fresh water, through authentic production methods which furthermore depletes crucial resources and pollutes waterways.Through conscious practices by Virgio, water efficiency , ethical sourcing and responsible production are all integrated throughout the production of Virgio's garments.
Aesthetics with Virgio is of utmost importance, as the ethos of the brand is minimizing environmental impact. Each garment of Virgio is carefully curated using:
1. Low Impact Dyes: Authentic textile dyeing is accountable for 20% of global waste water pollution according to sources. Virgio, integrates non-toxic, water-efficient dyes to drastically reduce chemical runoff and safeguard aquatic ecosystems.
2.Sustainable Fabrics: Virgio uses organic cotton, Tencel, and recycled fabrics that utilizes vast reduction in water compared to conventional textiles. If fashion brands use organic cotton compared to conventional cotton - facts suggest 91% less water is used in organic cotton.
3.On-Demand Production: Overproduction leads to excessive water consumption and textile waste. Virgio's tech-driven, made-to-order model ensures that each piece is crafted only when needed, preventing unnecessary resource depletion. Water is a shared resource that sustains communities, ecosystems, and industries.
For World Water Day today, as a responsible Fashion " Virgio urges consumers to make mindful choices by supporting sustainable fashion brands that prioritize water conservation. Every purchase from Virgio represents a step towards a cleaner, greener future where style meets sustainability. Join us in making a difference—because fashion should never come at the cost of our planet's most precious resource" – Amar Nagaram. CEO, Founder of Virgio.

Gulf Network In a powerful show of endurance and empathy, Brian Flanagan, Leasing Director at NOVVI Properties, is set to compete in the IronMan 70.3 in Durban, South Africa this Sunday, turning a grueling athletic pursuit into a mission of hope. His goal: to raise awareness and vital funds for Future for Orphans, a non-profit dedicated to providing education for orphaned children in Afghanistan. The IronMan 70.3, comprising a 2km swim, 90km cycle, and 21.1km run is no small feat. It marks the culmination of over seven months of dedicated training for Flanagan, who sees the event not only as a test of personal limits but as a chance to make a meaningful difference. 'This Sunday in Durban, I'll be taking on the IronMan 70.3 – a 2km swim, 90km cycle, and a 21.1km run. It's about six hours of intense effort and the culmination of seven months of training,' says Flanagan. 'Being able to turn this into a platform to help children in need has been incredibly important to me.' The initiative supports Future for Orphans, which currently educates over 130 orphaned children in Afghanistan, offering them a chance at a brighter future through learning. 'I grew up in Ireland where education is free and widely accessible,' Flanagan adds. 'The opportunity to support children who've been robbed of that basic right is powerful for me – it's a deep motivation.' Flanagan's endeavor reflects the broader values and culture at NOVVI Properties. With a leadership team that leads by example and a work culture that celebrates generosity and support, his initiative is a testament to the company's belief in community impact. 'At NOVVI Properties, there's a strong culture of wanting to help each other and those in need. This initiative aligns perfectly with that ethos, which is really driven from the top by our owner's example of generosity,' he explains. 'Everybody likes to see each other succeed here, both professionally and personally.' 'Hopefully, some of the things we do inspire others, whether it's finding out what they are capable of physically or taking the time to help those in need. If we can lead by example, and others understand what NOVVI is about, then we have done something truly meaningful,'he concluded. Through this act of endurance, Flanagan hopes to inspire others to discover their own strength, whether by pushing physical boundaries or stepping up for a cause.
