Not going to over explain this because the material does the talking but here's the short version.

We work with banana fibre and we've spent the last year and a half figuring out how to take it seriously into home textiles. Not bags, not accessories actual upholstery, curtains, table linen, bath textiles, floor and wall fabric. 300 GSM all the way to 1000 GSM so one natural fibre family covers every application in a home.

The fibre comes from banana stems that were going to be burned on farms anyway. The plant already gave its fruit. We just figured out what to do with the rest of it.

What we've built:

  • Full GSM range from lightweight drapes to heavy duty upholstery
  • Blended with complementary sustainable yarns so each application actually performs
  • Sampling live right now not a concept, not a pitch deck

If you're an interior designer, home textile brand or manufacturer looking for a natural fabric with real range drop a comment or DM me and I'll send the full catalogue across. Happy to answer anything.
