BIANKALU ECO FABRICS
Cupro and Ecovero Viscose
The fabric composed of 53% cupro and 47% ecovero viscose is a sustainable and eco-friendly textile that offers practical, aesthetic, and ethical properties.
From a practical standpoint, the cupro enhances the durability and strength of the fabric, making it resistant to wear and tear, while the ecovero viscose provides a soft and smooth texture that is breathable and comfortable to wear. This combination of fibers creates a fabric that is highly absorbent, drying quickly and easily, and it is also machine washable for easy care.
From an ethical perspective, the fabric is certified with the V-Label, meaning that it meets strict environmental and sustainability standards. The use of ecovero viscose ensures that the fabric is produced using renewable and sustainable sources, while the cupro is a by-product of the cotton industry, thereby reducing waste. The creation of this textile also supports the ethical treatment of workers through its adherence to fair labor practices.
Cupro 100%
Cupro is a luxurious fabric that is made from regenerated cellulose fibers. 100% Cupro is a textile that is incredibly soft and lightweight, with a silky texture that drapes beautifully over the body. This fabric is perfect for creating elegant and flowy garments like dresses and blouses, and it is also used for linings and lingerie.
The practical properties of Cupro fabric are numerous. Firstly, it is exceptionally breathable, which makes it ideal for wearing in warm weather. It has excellent moisture-wicking properties, so you stay comfortable and cool even in hot and humid conditions. Cupro is also a highly durable fabric, which means it can withstand regular wear and tear, as well as frequent washing, without losing its shape or color.
From an aesthetic point of view, Cupro has a subtle sheen and a smooth texture that gives it a luxurious look and feel. It is available in a range of rich colors and can be dyed easily, which makes it a popular choice for designers who want to create bold and eye-catching pieces. The drape of Cupro is one of its most attractive features, as it creates a flattering silhouette that skims the body without clinging.
From an ethical perspective, Cupro is a sustainable fabric that has been certified by the V-Lable. This means that it has met strict environmental and social criteria that support responsible production and consumption. Cupro is made from regenerated cellulose, which is a natural and renewable resource, and it is produced using a closed-loop process that minimizes waste and reduces the environmental impact of its production.
Stone washed Linen 100%
The linen is a high-quality fabric that offers numerous properties and benefits. At its core, this linen is made from natural fibers that possess excellent durability and absorbency qualities. Additionally, this material has been pre-washed and treated to create a natural, rustic look that is perfect for a wide array of applications.
One of the primary advantages of linen 100 is its strength and durability. As a natural fiber, linen has an inherent resistance to wear and tear, and it is able to withstand frequent use without losing its quality. Additionally, the process of stone washing further enhances the fabric's resistance to damage, making it an ideal material for long-lasting products.
Another benefit of linen is its absorbency properties. This fabric is adept at absorbing moisture and pulling it away from the skin, making it a great choice for clothing and bedding. Its breathability also helps to regulate body temperature in warm weather, allowing for maximum comfort even on hot days.
Aside from its functional properties, linen is also popular for its aesthetic appeal. The pre-washed treatment gives the fabric a unique, natural appearance that is ideal for creating a rustic, relaxed vibe in any setting. It is commonly used for curtains, tablecloths, and home decor items.
Importantly, the Oeko Tex Standard 100 certification ensures that the fabric is free from harmful chemicals, making it safe for use in a variety of applications. This certification also ensures that the materials used in production meet high environmental standards, making this fabric an eco-friendly choice for conscious consumers.
