“Green” fashion becomes a popular trend

If fast fashion often “causes a stir” with cheap, trendy products, then sustainable fashion is increasingly gaining a higher position in the hearts of fashionistas.

It can be mentioned the “boosts” of the fashion industry such as shoes, clothes made from coffee grounds or bags, knitting accessories from jute, rush fibers,… Especially, ethnic brocade is a cultural product of the locality and is a modern fashion fabric, spreading the spirit of sustainable living and bringing economic benefits to ethnic minorities.

It can be said that green material products are gradually establishing their position in the minds of consumers as the first step towards a sustainable lifestyle.

Top common green materials in the fashion industry

Currently, climate change is a special concern of the government and business organizations in Vietnam. Especially in the textile industry, many companies have switched to using green materials, contributing to environmental protection and providing safe fashion products for consumer health. One of the approaches used to address this issue is using environmentally friendly fabrics in the garment industry.

Linen Fiber

Linen originates from the Mediterranean, and France is the world’s leading linen producer. Linen fabric has 70% cellulose, does not cause allergies, absorbs moisture well, creates a breathable feeling for the wearer. Therefore, linen is a great green material to use in the summer.

The more linen fabric is washed, the softer the fabric becomes without deformation. This is a very important feature for everyday clothes that need to be washed regularly like shirts. Many people use linen because they love its beauty, convenience, and comfortable feeling when wearing it.

Bamboo Fiber Fabric

Bamboo fiber fabric or also known as bamboo fiber. This is a natural fabric synthesized from bamboo and wood pulp using the most modern technology. The entire distillation and production process is a relatively green process and does not cause pollution. This is a unique, environmentally friendly green material.

Bamboo fiber fabric has a moisture absorption capacity 60% higher than cotton fiber fabric. Bamboo fiber fabric is naturally soft, round, helps reduce friction with the skin and ensures that the fabric fiber does not stick to the body when sweating. Other outstanding features of bamboo fiber fabric are thermal regulation, UV resistance, colorfastness, shiny surface, non-wrinkling.

Coffee Fiber Material

Coffee fiber is a synthetic fiber blended from coffee grounds and polymers, developed by a modern technological process to improve and optimize the inherent characteristics of recycled fibers. The outstanding characteristic of coffee fiber is to limit the shrinkage of fabric fibers and help keep the shape of the shirt, breathable, quick-drying, and cooling the body.

Therefore, coffee fabric is one of the green materials often used to make sportswear, or underwear, socks, bed sheets,…

Ramie Fiber

Ramie fabric is a fabric pulled from Ramie fiber, a precious fabric in many countries around the world. In China, this Ramie plant is referred to as “grass flower, China’s treasure”.

Ramie fibers are long and strong, good heat conduction, moisture absorption, and breathability 3-5 times that of cotton fiber. It also contains beneficial components such as exhort, pyrimidine, and purine. Ramie fiber has antibacterial, breathable, cool, sterilizing, anti-mold, and sweat-absorbing functions. It should be recognized as the “King of natural fibers”. Moreover, this fabric has characteristics of easy dyeing, colorfastness, can withstand high washing temperatures, the fabric is shinier after washing, and shrinks less when washing.

Currently, the Ramie fabric clothing market is growing strongly and is favored by many people. In Vietnam, Thien Phuoc is the pioneering unit to distribute fiber products, fabrics, and products from Ramie fabric. As a unit that fully actively produces from raw materials to finished products, it ensures to bring customers quality products manufactured in Vietnam and completely natural.

The natural environment needs our protection more than ever. Therefore, by using green, environmentally friendly materials in the fashion industry, you have played a role in protecting this green planet from pollution. Please favor these green materials in fashion products!
