Hello. I’m Kei from the ApparelX division.
Following on from last time, we have compiled sustainable materials that have been attracting a lot of attention recently.
This time, we have compiled accessory materials.
Sustainable textiles, compiled (1) here
Sustainable materials compiled - lining, tape, buttons - (1) here here
For linings as well, there are products made with recycled materials, as well as ApparelX original cupro lining.
Cupro is also a regenerated fiber made from cotton linter, the fluffy fiber left on the seed when cotton is harvested, so it may be considered an environmentally friendly accessory material.
