This just feels luxurious. I think this may be the first time we've had ramie fabric in the shop. Now you might be asking yourself what is ramie? Maybe this is your first time visiting the shop. You're shy, don't want to ask questions on the first visit. I get it. So let me anticipate what you might ask.
Ramie - 'Ramie has a cellulose fibre, obtained through a complex extraction process, which makes it an expensive and premium fabric. Its fibres are obtained from Boehmeria nivea and utilis plants: white ramie is obtained from the first, while green ramie from the second. These plants grow especially in China and Malaysia, where they were used in the past to make clothes.
During harvesting, nothing of this raw material goes to waste, and this is why it is such an environmentally sustainable fabric. Fibre is obtained from the plant bark, while its cellulose is used to make fine paper, and its leaves as animal feed.'
NOW THAT'S A GOOD START.
Let's talk about the advantages because you know we wouldn't bring in a fabric without advantages.
- Natural resistance to stains - boom
- Resistant to shrinkage - boom
- Withstands high water temperatures during laundering- boom
- Comfortable and breathable to wear, making it suitable for warm and humid conditions - boom
- Fully natural, sustainable & regenerative material - big boom
- Holds its shape well - final boom
