Kapok fiber is our vegetal regenerative replacement for traditional wool, applied to PYRATEX® tropic I fabric in collaboration with Lenzing, Flocus, Marchi&Fildi and Studio MLR.  

 

The flowers grow on trees from non-agricultural land in Indonesia without any kind of human intervention, requiring no irrigation, fertilization, pesticides nor insecticides. The harvesting process is manual and done by local farmers; other than that the tree remains untouched and continues to regenerate the eco-system.

Kapok flowers are filled with extraordinarily hollow fibers covered by a wax film, which makes them highly isolating and hydrophobic. The silky soft fibers are also hypoallergenic, with anti bacterial and anti moth properties that are ideal for sensitive skins.

​

Kapok is one of our regenerative fibers, meaning it preserves soil health, animal wildlife and local social fairness.
