Lotus fabric
The most sustainable fabric
Lotus fabric has unique properties: it is naturally soft, light, especially breathable, and almost wrinkle free. It is also a very eco-friendly fabric containing no chemicals or toxic products. It’s probably the most ecological fabric in the world. First, because we transform a stem that would have turned to waste into a quality textile. Furthermore, we ensure not using any polluting energy during the entirety of the production process.
Experimental research
conducted in remote villages enabled Samatoa to bring back to life long forgotten skills. Thousands of years ago, the art of creating lotus fabrics was widely spread, but then forgotten. Since then, lotus flowers were still harvested in Cambodia, but not their valuable stem that was left in the water. What a waste! Samatoa decided to bring back to life those ancestral technics. And to weave lotus textile using the fiber contained in those stems.
