Talya Hanan, founder, CEO and designer for VITAL eco-wear, brings with her over 20 years of rich experience in nearly every aspect of the textile industry, from pioneering the development of seamless sportswear and the use of unique fibers, through creating sales infrastructures and opening up new markets.

 

Concurrent with the establishment and running of VITAL eco-wear with its promotion of new performance fabrics and sportswear, Talya continues to act as consultant to various companies for whom she has built marketing strategies and designed lines of sportswear. She has established a manufacturing facility for seamless garments, infrastructures for management, marketing and export, and has managed projects for leading Israeli companies. Sharing her vast experience and knowhow, Talya served as lecturer at Shenkar College of Engineering and Design, in the Textile Design Department.

 

When seamless garments were still in their infancy, Talya introduced this new technology in Israel, setting up the first "seamless" manufacturing facility and establishing a new company to run it. For the past ten years she has held senior managerial positions including Managing Director and Vice President of Global Innovation, Activewear, and Marketing & Development.

 

With an established reputation as a leading designer of advanced sportswear, a pioneering developer of seamless technology, and a textile industry consultant backed by global experience, Talya Hanan is now pushing the frontiers of what it means to be green. Determined to promote the health of people and the planet through the choice of fibres and fabrics, the way they are processed and manufactured, and in the working conditions of her employees, Talya stays true to her own motto – she dares to be better.
