Alternative Fibre Fabric

Viscose is a "man-made" fibre derived from natural cellulose, which can be extracted from wood pulp, and these fabrics come from the likes of bamboo, eucalyptus, aloe vera, sugar cane, orange and banana plants, and even from milk casein! Soft and supple, and great for dyeing.

Alternative Fibre Fabrics

Innovative, versatile and increasingly popular—our alternative fibre fabrics offer a modern approach to textiles, combining natural origins with advanced processing techniques. Derived from plant-based sources such as bamboo, eucalyptus, aloe vera, sugar cane, orange and banana fibres—as well as milk casein—these fabrics bring together sustainability, softness and performance.

Most commonly produced in the form of viscose and similar regenerated fibres, these materials are created by extracting cellulose from natural sources and transforming it into smooth, workable fibres. The result is a fabric that feels luxuriously soft, drapes beautifully and takes colour exceptionally well.
