HIGH-STREET chain store Mango is the latest to design and retail branded masks to protect wearers from contagion whilst out in public – a trend started by top football clubs in Spain and beyond, and by the NBA basketball association in the USA.
According to the budget clothing store, which started up in Catalunya and has its global head office in Barcelona, the reusable masks filter out over 90% of particles and a 'breathability' of below 60% - which indicates how comfortable or otherwise masks are; those retailed for hygiene use must be no more than 60% - and their protection level is guaranteed for up to 10 washes.
They went live on Mango's website yesterday (Thursday) with prices ranging from €8 to €10.
Adult masks are in standard sizes for women and for men, and children's masks come in three sizes.
To complete the 'look', Mango has also started retailing its own-branded perfumed hand-sanitiser in two different varieties.
