Kapok fabric
A new sustainable fabric
Kapok Fabric is a new sustainable fabric created and woven much the same way as natural cotton but the process is more delicate. We have been able to develop this delicate process thanks to the skills and the exactness of Cambodian women.
Kapok Fiber has unique properties, it looks a bit like organza silk but it remains stronger, resistant to vermin, resistant to water and moisture and more. It is incredibly soft touch and warmer than wool.
With Kapok fabric you can receive an extremely lightweight and resilient fabric that repels rain and can actually stay buoyant for a time.
Fibers are generally fairly short and the smooth surface of the fibers makes it very difficult to weave. As a result Kapok fabric is weaved using improved traditional techniques and handmade tools specifically designed for creating the fabric.
