Natural Fibers
We believe in the importance of preserving non-renewable resources and going green. Which is why we pledge to use natural fibers sourced from the plant kingdoms such as organic and combed cotton, khadi , flax, hemp, bamboo and jute. Their main component is cellulose making it biodegradable and extremely efficient. Natural fibers are derived directly from living organisms, which in turn leaves our planet free of harm. It is free of any impurities or short protruding threads enabling it to be softer and breathable than other fibers. The combing process removes short fibers, which are prone to breakage making it stronger. It is grown without the use of harmful chemicals, thus leaving the soil, air, and water free from contamination.
Synthetic Materials
We use the materials and tools bestowed upon us by Mother Earth for tackling the use of non-renewable resources.
