Green fabric

This fabric is made of a biodegradable fiber which is the result of research in starch and other grain byproducts.

Working with overspun yarn experts in Kyoto, the traditional seat of exquisite kimono fabrics, using twisting and dying techniques. Resulting in a wonderful lively crêpe fabric.

The fabric is sensitive to heat and when warmed smell slightly of roasted corn.
