Natural textile fibers

In an era of galloping innovation and synthetic fibers, there is a window into a world full of sophistication and tradition – the world of natural textile fibers. Despite the technological advance, many of us still appreciate precious natural fiber fabrics for their consummate elegance and connection with nature.

Natural textile fibers are divided into the following categories:

1. Based on cellulose (vegetable origin)
2. Protein-based (animal origin)

1. Natural textile fibers of vegetable origin:

The most common vegetable textile fibers in fashion are:

• Cotton

  Cotton has the ability to absorb moisture easily, giving a feeling of comfort on hot summer days. With a soft and delicate touch, this fiber brings a sense of purity to the world of fashion. Its excellent absorbent properties make it ideal for household and clothing products. From soft towels and denim jeans to cozy t-shirts and refined bedding, cotton is a ubiquitous element in the world of fashion.

• Flax  fiber(linen)

  Flax fiber has a rich history, deeply rooted in ancient times. Linen stands out for its strength and rigidity, surpassing the qualities of cotton. However, it tends to crease slightly, bringing a subtle element of authenticity. Flax fiber has multiple valuable uses in the fashion industry. It is mainly used for making summer clothes, benefiting from its natural cooling properties.
  

• Hemp

  Hemp fiber is often confused with flax, but it is a distinct presence with unique characteristics. One of the outstanding attributes of hemp fiber is its antibacterial character. This property gives the fiber a biodegradable and environmentally friendly character. Hemp also stands out as a good thermal conductor, resistant to mold, with the ability to protect against UV rays and easy to dye. All these qualities are harmoniously combined in a durable and strong material.

• Bambus

  Bamboo plants require less attention in growing and can be grown in almost any area, faster than most other plants. This feature contributes to sustainability by reducing pressure on natural resources. The alignment of the fibers in the longitudinal direction gives the material increased durability and properties similar to glass fiber. Bamboo fibers are even thicker and stronger than cotton, which increases the durability of textile products made from this fiber. Bamboo is not only a symbol of elegance, but also an ally of skin health. These fibers are known for their antimicrobial, hypoallergenic and thermoregulating properties. They absorb moisture effectively, keeping the skin dry and comfortable in various climatic conditions.

  With a potential to compete with the highest quality cotton, bamboo fibers bring with them a deep commitment to the environment. Grown without the use of pesticides or herbicides, bamboo plants require less water and are harvested from the base, leaving the roots intact for regeneration. This is an eco-friendly and responsible choice that blends perfectly with fashion elegance.

2. Natural textile fibers of animal origin:

• Wool

  One of the most notable properties of wool is its excellent insulating ability. This quality gives it superior comfort, allowing the body to regulate its temperature naturally. Wool encourages the skin to breathe and keeps it protected from external conditions. Although wool may seem delicate to the touch, it has a surprising tenacity. With excellent elastic recovery, wool successfully resists the passage of time and regular wear. This fiber easily adapts to body movements, offering freedom of expression and comfort. With its insulating properties and finesse of texture, wool is woven into fabrics that combine elegance and functionality. Every item made of wool bears the imprint of a centuries-old tradition and a passion for quality.
  

• Kashmere

  Cashmere is a testament to sophistication. The silky and light fiber gives the clothes a delicate and warm feel. Cashmere is known and appreciated for its exceptionally precious nature. Indeed, this fiber is associated with elegance and refined style. Cashmere is considered an extremely expensive fiber, which adds to the mystery and allure surrounding it.

  Cashmere is masterfully used to create a diverse range of garments and accessories. From the famous shawls to fine sweaters, cashmere becomes an expression of luxury and good taste.

• Silk

  Silk brings with it an aura of mystery and seduction. From the depths of the silkworm cocoon, a precious, shiny and fine fiber is born. This is the ideal choice for evening dresses and pieces of clothing that convey elegance and femininity.

  Silk has long been associated with sophistication and nobility. It was worn by kings and queens, and today it continues to be a symbol of elegance and distinguished style. Each silk fabric maintains a long tradition of timeless elegance. The texture of silk makes it easy to dye, allowing the creation of vibrant and subtle shades. Silk reacts well to the dyeing process, enriching itself in vivid and bright colors. Silk is not suitable for vegans, because in the production process, the silk cocoon is boiled before the worm emerges from it, in order to preserve the length of the fiber. Although silk may seem like a natural option, its production process raises questions about the inhumane treatment of silkworms.

• Alpaca

  Alpaca, known for its softness and irresistible warmth, is the ideal choice for soft and refined fabrics. Its versatility makes this fiber a constant presence in the modern wardrobe. One of the remarkable aspects of alpaca fiber is its hypoallergenic nature. This means it is unlikely to cause allergic reactions or skin irritation. This characteristic makes alpaca an excellent choice for people with sensitive or allergy-prone skin. Alpaca is not only a comfortable and hypoallergenic fiber, but also a popular choice for luxury fabrics and outdoor sportswear. It has the ability to retain heat.

• Mohair

  Mohair, associated with luxury and brilliance, is a precious fiber that gives clothes a touch of refined elegance. Durable and lightweight, this fiber is prized for its pleasant texture. Its varied color and ability to reflect light add a dimension of brilliance and sophistication. It is used to create a wide range of clothing items from outerwear, dresses or light summer suits. Mohair fiber is also used in the manufacture of knitted items, due to its strength and durability, which gives it a stable structure.

• Angora

  Angora fiber, known for its finesse, exudes a special sensuality. Whether used in sweaters or hats, angora adds an extra touch of delicacy and femininity to any outfit. Its simplicity portrays a subtle and elegant charm. Angora fiber is mainly used in obtaining high-quality sweaters.
