Sustainable Style, Sustainable Future
Welcome to a world where fashion meets conscience. Dive into the realm of sustainable textiles, where we decode the eco-credentials of your clothing. Discover fabrics that love the planet as much as you do, and make informed choices that shape a greener, trendier future. Let’s weave sustainability into style, one fiber at a time.
Textiles Guide
Natural Fibers
Natural fibers are materials harvested directly from nature, like plants, animals, or minerals. They’re used to create textiles without significant alteration, offering inherent qualities such as breathability and comfort. In contrast to manufactured fibers from natural sources and synthetic polymer fibers, natural fibers maintain a close connection to their original state in nature.
Organic materials, pure fibers are biodegradable in the right condition, however they are often mixed with synthetics to achieve desired performance or qualities. Considerations for 1)organically grown, pesticide free 2) water /energy usage 3) ethical treatment of animals
Plant-Based:
Cotton
Flax
Linen
Animal-Based
Leather
Silk
Wool
Manufactured Fibers of Natural Origin
involve processing natural materials, like wood pulp, into fibers. They blend natural origin with manufacturing techniques for unique properties. Manufactured fibers are at the forefront of a textile revolution, where science and nature converge. These fabrics, meticulously engineered from renewable resources, offer a wide range of properties, from moisture-wicking performance wear to soft, eco-conscious everyday garments, empowering consumers to make responsible fashion choices.
Biodegradable. Considerations for chemicals required to process material into fibers, water & energy consumption, pollution.
Bamboo
Modal
Lyocell/Tencel
Poly Lactic Acid
Viscose
Synthetic Polymer Fibers
Completely human-made, synthetic polymer fibers are born from chemical compounds. They’re prized for durability and adaptability, making them ideal for a wide range of products.
Synthetic polymer fibers, like polyester and nylon, have redefined textiles. Their applications range from high-performance sportswear to durable outdoor gear, but they also raise concerns about microplastic pollution.
Acrylic
Econyl
Nylon
