Sustainable Fibers
Sustainability is at the core of our business.
Sustainability is more important now than ever before. As a pioneer in the development of eco-friendly fabrics since 1996, we are committed to offer our customers with high quality and intentional fabrications. With our growing collection of sustainable fabrics, we strive to produce textiles that have the least environmental impact possible. All of our fabrics are made locally here in Los Angeles using non-toxic, azo-free, metal-free and formaldehyde-free dyes. Our practices are reflected through the fibers we use, the production processes we do, and how workers are treated. We believe in softening our environmental footprint through conscious manufacturing.
TENCEL™ Modal
TENCEL™ Modal is a fiber made from Beechwood, a natural raw material and basic component for fabric. TENCEL™ Modal is from FSC-certified forests and is free of pesticides, is biodegradable, and is the most luxurious cellulose fiber. Soft, smooth, and silky– so light and delicate that you hardly feel it. It has excellent moisture absorption and release capacities that let your skin breathe. Its smooth texture, soft look, and the capability to dye it brilliant colors make TENCEL™ Modal ideal for high-quality apparel.

TENCEL™ Lyocell
TENCEL™ Lyocell heralds the beginning of a new age in fiber technology. TENCEL™ Lyocell is a pure and natural cellulose fiber derived from renewable eucalyptus wood. Made in a closed-loop process from sustainably farmed eucalyptus trees, our TENCEL™ Lyocell is an environmentally responsible fiber from start to finish. Completely natural, a major breakthrough was made with the development of the unique nanofibril structure of this fiber– soft as silk, strong as polyester, cool as linen, warm as wool, and as absorbent as cotton. Its solvent is recycled and recovered up to 99.5% and the emissions which remain are decomposed in adapted biological purification plants. The manufacturing process was awarded the “European Award for the Environment” by the European Union.

GOTS Certified Organic Cotton
Sometimes a fabric needs nothing more . . . but something less. Take the case of cotton—a natural fiber whose cultivation has, for the past sixty years, entailed a massive use of toxic chemicals. Organic Cotton not only saves water, it's never grown with any pesticides, herbicides or insecticides. Organic cotton lets the earth bypass huge amounts of unnecessary chemicals and toxins (1/3 lb. of chemicals is required to produce 1 pound of cotton). Buy organic cotton and smile knowing that you are reducing the toxic effects of pesticides in the environment.
Microviscose Bamboo
Bamboo fabric is a natural textile made from the pulp of bamboo. It is naturally porous and highly water absorbent, able to take up to three times it’s weight in water. In bamboo fabric, this translates to an excellent wicking ability that absorbs moisture and pulls it away from the skin, keeping you cooler and drier than synthetics or cotton.
The soft , smooth texture , and superior drapability of the bamboo is similar to silk, but more practical, because it is washable. Because it is naturally antimicrobial, bamboo retains it’s anti-fungal, anti-bacterial nature even after processing into fabric and numerous washes.
Lenzing ECOVERO™ Viscose &
Recycled Viscose
Lenzing ECOVERO™ Viscose is derived from certified wood sources using eco-friendly production processes. This fiber uses 50% less water than regular viscose fibers. This fiber provides you with the best basic material for light, silky textiles for women’s, men’s wear.

Recycled Viscose fibers is the reinvention on the classic of the textile industry. This fiber requires zero water for it’s production cycle and is hygienic, absorptive, and stable.
Recycled Cotton
Utilizing textile waste as a raw material resource to prevent dumping into a landfill and incineration, Recycled Cotton makes us less dependent on virgin materials. There is no water or chemicals to produce this yarn and it reduces CO2 emissions and energy usage.

Recycled Polyester
Recycled Polyester Fabric is a 100% Post Consumer recycled raw material that is revolutionary in its inception as well as its potential. The polyester fiber is made from recycled water, soda, and food containers. It can also be combined with other fibers for comfort, easy care and durability. Complete the cycle… buy recycled!

Soy
Soy fabric is a new and exciting eco-friendly fabric made from a by-product of soybean oil production. It is a sustainable textile fiber made from renewable and biodegradable resources. It is part of an effort to move consumers away from petrochemical textile products and turn waste into useful products. Soy is a sustainable crop which not only cuts pesticide use, but is also the leading substitute for cashmere, helping to diminish China’s overgrazing of goats. Soy fabric is known in some countries as “soysilk” for its soft, lustrous feel.

Sorona
Blended with bamboo and/or cotton, Sorona® is made from naturally produced starch in corn. Once processed, this starch creates a polymer similar to polyester without the use of any petrochemicals. Blended with bamboo, this fabric provides exceptional softness, drape, comfort, stretch, recovery, and moisture management, as well as UV and chlorine resistance.

Wool
A superior natural fiber unmatched by any synthetic fiber for its brilliant qualities of temperature control, fire resistance, stain resistance, endurance and much more. Wool stays cool in the summer and warm in the winter, repels moisture, and resists odors. A great design from nature!
