Fabrics
Cotton
Line πlanet, uses only GOTS certified cotton. Cotton is grown using methods and materials that have a low impact on the environment, using production systems that replenish and maintain soil fertility and are grown without the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. Cotton is the most noble material for creating fabrics that love and protect the skin.
Linen
Linen is made from flax and is one of the most biodegradable fabrics that has withstood the test of time. Strong, naturally moth resistant and anti-bacterial, linen is gentle on your skin and the planet. Flax is an extremely resilient and versatile plant that can grow in poor soil, consuming far less water than cotton. Every part of the flax plant can be used, which means that there is very little by-product from growing this crop.
Tencel
Tencel is made from several types of wood pulp, whitch chemically processed into a semi-synthetic cellulose fiber that’s used in an array of products like clothing and bedding. The manufacturing process is monitored to ensure sustainable wood sourcing, and Tencel production typically uses less water and fewer pesticides than cotton.Tencel is an exceptionally soft fabric that’s hypoallergenic and well suited for sensitive skin. It is also quite durable and resists pilling.
Ramie
Ramie is a renewable plant fibre that’s derived from a plant in the nettle family. It is biodegradable, making it sustainable compared to synthetic, oil-based fabrics! The fibres are slubby which gives Ramie an appearance similar to linen. Ramie is reportedly “twice as strong” as Linen, one of the strongest natural fibres and even stronger when wet!
Viscose
Viscose is a regenerated cellulose fiber usually made from wood pulp, it has a luxurious appearance and soft feel. It is not a synthetic fiber made from petroleum. Cellulose, which is also found in natural cotton fibre, is broken down and then regenerated into fibre form. Viscose was first produced in 1883 as an economical version of natural silk.
