FABRICS, PRODUCTION PROCEDURES, WASH & CARE
COTTON
Cotton is without a doubt the most popular natural fabric of
all times. No fiber is as familiar as this fluffy white product
of the cotton plant. Soft, cool and comfortable - and it all
begins in the lush green fields like it has done for centuries.
The story of cotton goes back at least 7000 years. The oldest
discoveries were made in South America, The Middle East and
Egypt. Cotton is extremely gentle on the skin and breathes well
due to the fibers ability to absorb perspiration quickly. Cotton
plays a big role in The Earth Collection and we are offering
100% cotton styles all year round.
SILK
NOIL
Silk is an animal fiber spun by the silkworm while it constructs
its cocoon. Silk is extraordinarily strong and resilient. It has
been said that a fiber of silk is stronger than a fiber of steel
and it is the strongest of all natural fibers. The Earth
Collection produce a line of garments mixing raw silk and cotton
creating garments with versatility, wear ability and comfort.
Besides being a beautiful fabric, our main reason for working
with silk is the fact that the production process has close to
no negative impact on the environment as no harsh chemicals can
be used on silk. The garments are temperature regulating making
it warm in winter and cool in summer by transporting moisture
away from the body.
RAMIE
Ramie (also known as China grass) is often mistaken for
linen as they are closely related. Ramie is a stem fiber used
since ancient times. The first clothes produced of ramie dates
back to 5000-3300 BC in Egypt. The long fine ramie fibers are
one of the strongest natural fibers, up to three to five times
stronger than cotton, and it exhibits even greater strength when
wet. This elegant, beautiful, smooth, durable and refined
natural fabric is extremely absorbent which makes it very
comfortable to wear, especially during warm weather.
HEMP
Hemp is made from the stems of the Cannabis Sativa plant and
despite popular belief industrial hemp fibers do not contain any
narcotic chemicals. It is among world's most durable and
eco-friendly natural fibers. Hemp farming requires very little
water and can be grown without the use of toxic herbicides,
pesticides and fertilizers. It renews the soil with each growth
cycle and its long roots help prevent erosion. Another important
factor is that virtually nothing is wasted in the production
process. Seeds are used to make oil and food supplements while
the stems are used for fiber. Hemp is also UV resistant and help
block out the sun's harmful rays.
