Most of us probably know just a handful of materials used in fashion – “the usual suspects” – like cotton, polyester, wool, viscose, silk, linen and leather. The others are perhaps not as widely used, they are also sometimes difficult to pronounce and remember, let alone difficult to understand what exactly they are made of. There are lots of materials out there, especially today with more and more innovations in the textile industry driven by the need to create more sustainable alternatives. As I learned and researched all about these materials, I realized that there was lots of great information but there was no one quick reference or an easy guide to sustainable fabrics. And that is precisely why I have created one!
