What Exactly Is BOA?

The word BOA apparently comes from the Latin word for "snake."

Originally, it was made from curled sheep wool or other fur, but now, due to cost and SDG considerations, fur boas are uncommon. Boas are usually made by knitting pile on a base fabric and then cutting the tips of the pile. Some BOA is made mainly from wool to achieve the warmth and natural feel of fur, while other BOA is made mainly from polyester for functionality and lightness.

The warmth of wool itself and the voluminous Boa make this material very special. It is also very plush. The surface is made entirely of wool rather than being knitted with pile yarn, which gives it the look of a real sheep. Another feature of this product is that the base fabric is made from 100% recycled polyester, making it an eco-friendly and authentic boa material.

This BOA knit is part of the RE:NEWOOL® series, a sustainable material produced by Takisada Nagoya. Because it is a knitted material, it has stretch and the perfect length and thickness, making it suitable for both outerwear and mid-layers. I think it is very thorough that recycled materials other than wool are used. When we talked about it at a joint exhibition, it was very well received because it is eco-friendly, stylish, and versatile in terms of texture.
