Fibre
Our cotton is grown in India.
Our kapok fibres are grown in Indonesia. Kapok fibres are natural, silky fibres derived from the seed pods of the kapok tree. Kapok floss is hydrophobic and lighter than cotton. A feature of kapok fabric is the presence of small kapok seeds, seen as brown flecks in the material. Harvested from fast-growing, low-input trees without the use of fertilizers or pesticides, kapok fibres are environmentally friendly.
The flax used to make our linen is grown in France, where the flax plant needs minimal water, energy, pesticides, and fertilisers to grow, making it one of the most naturally sustainable fibres.
Fabric
The combination of cotton, kapok, and linen creates a lightweight and soft fabric. Kapok fibers add unusual fineness, and linen adds subtle texture to the fabric. Yarns are dyed before creating the fabric which gives them solid even colouring. The final step is to wash the garments to soften the fabric.
