LATERAL ACT THE MOOD A coexistence between natural fibers and synthetics feature, complimenting each other s strengths as textile manufacturers look to new potential and more importantly discerning developments. The adage is true, opposites do attract, as the textile sector explores the possibility of getting the best out of both sectors in delivering next generation fabrics.

A strong eco nuance inspires this direction, not just focused on nature but incorporating the recycled synthetics available, with the final fibers complimented by creora eco-soft, low heat settable spandex/elastane. While sustainable processes continue to grow across the industry, it is one of the stronger points in this direction as a natural edge dominates but with the help of its synthetic and manmade counterparts.
