Thanks to our partnership with Komodra Business Group, not only will we import pineapple fibre from Java Island, but we will also introduce the prized Ramiè fibre.
This expansion represents a significant step towards enriching our offer and strengthening our market presence.
The Ramiè (Boehmeria nivea), known as “vegetable silk”, is one of the first natural fibres that fascinated us. Used for 6000 years for textiles and paper, Ramie is distinguished by its strength, lustre and breathability.
Why did we choose Ramiè?
- Sustainability: It grows quickly (about 3 months) and requires only rainwater, with no need for pesticides. It is an environmentally friendly alternative to other crops.
- Durability: With a tensile strength superior to cotton, Ramiè is robust, wear, mildew and bacteria resistant, perfect for durable fabrics.
- Breathability and Comfort: Thanks to its natural water-repellent properties, it keeps the skin cool and dry, ideal for summer clothing.
- BiodegradabilityDegummed with enzymes and free of harmful chemicals, it facilitates natural decomposition and reduces environmental impact.
Why do we like the Ramie production process?
- CollectionHandmade.
- Decortication: The stem is machine husked.
- Degumming: Treated with enzymes.
- Drying: The fibre is dried.
Why we are fascinated by the characteristics of the Ramie
- Cultivation: It grows all year round in a harvest time of 1 to 3 months, without pesticides and with little water.
- Local Resources: Cultivated on 75 hectares of non-deforested land in Indonesia, using only rainwater.
- Zero PesticidesCompletely pesticide-free, an ecological and sustainable choice.
- BiodegradabilityHarvested by hand and treated with enzymes to obtain natural fibres.
In summary, Ramiè is an excellent choice for those looking for sustainability, durability and comfort in textiles. With this collaboration, we are committed to bringing innovative and environmentally friendly textile solutions to the market.
