About Cotton
Cotton fiber is a natural material derived from the seed hair of the cotton plant (Gossypium). Renowned for its softness, durability, and excellent moisture-absorbing properties, cotton fiber is a key ingredient in producing high-quality fabrics. Cotton fabric, made through the processing and weaving of cotton fibers, offers breathability and comfort, making it a staple in the textile industry. Its versatility, ease of dyeing, and adaptability to various designs make it one of the most widely used materials in fashion.
The Positive Impact of Cotton on Sustainable Fashion
Natural Origin and Biodegradability
Cotton is a natural, biodegradable material that decomposes without leaving harmful microplastics in the environment, unlike synthetic fibers. When cultivated and processed sustainably, cotton helps reduce the negative impact on ecosystems.Skin-Friendly Properties
Cotton fabric is soft and gentle, making it suitable even for sensitive skin. Its hypoallergenic nature makes it an ideal choice for creating skin-friendly, eco-conscious clothing.Recyclability
Cotton fabric can be recycled into various products, including new garments, insulation materials, or paper. This promotes a longer lifecycle for products and minimizes waste.Encourages Sustainable Practices
Organic cotton production promotes eco-friendly farming methods, such as reducing the use of harmful chemicals and minimizing water consumption. These practices protect soil and water resources while supporting cotton-farming communities.Supports Slow Fashion
Cotton garments are often durable and timeless, encouraging consumers to buy less and focus on quality over quantity. This aligns perfectly with the principles of slow fashion, which advocates for mindful consumption and longevity in design.
About Linen
Linen as a fabric is having somewhat of a renaissance as a fabric for making clothes and textiles, but it is actually one of our eldest know fabrics. It’s a natural super material! It can hold a lot of moist without feeling damp, is naturally antibacterial and dirt repellant – and also sustainable to grow. Linen can be washed in maximum of 80 °C, but will be clean even in lower temperatures. Always steam or iron linen clothes after laundry – never tumble dry.
A sustainable option
In our modern days cotton has been the king of textile production, but linen is actually having a renaissance. And rightfully so! Linen is a natural super material. It can absorb up to 20% of its own weight in moist without feeling damp, and that’s why it always feels cool to the touch. Linen is incredible useful for making shirts, blouses, suits, cloths, bed linen and dish cloths.
Contrasting to cotton, the flax plant is sustainable to grow. It requires very little water and the flax plant can sustain in colder climates and can even be cultivated in soil that’s not fertile enough to grow produce. Flax is also naturally resistant to many pests and you rarely have to use pesticides or weed killers.

Linen fabric has these characteristics:
It is a very strong and durable material, which is why it lasts for so many years. The downside of its resistance is that it is not very elastic, but this helps it to keep its shape easily.
