FINE LUXURY Eastman has been at the forefront of cellulosic yarn innovation since the 1920s, earning high praise from designers and consumers alike. Fabrics made from Naia present luxurious aesthetics, elegant drape, and superior hand bringing a fresh elegance for the next season of fashion apparel. COMFORT Fabrics made from Naia offer next-to-skin comfort thanks to the anti-irritation nature of the fiber. Rest comfortably knowing that Naia holds a Product Class II certification with the OEKO- TEX 100 label. Due to the hypoallergenic 1 nature of the fiber, fabrics made from Naia cellulosic yarn may also be the ideal choice for customers who demand ultimate comfort or those with sensitive skin. EASE OF CARE Garments and fabrics made of Naia are incredibly easy to care for, can be laundered at home, and have excellent wrinkle recovery. Even traditionally tough stains such as wine, cooking oil, coffee, dirt, and cosmetics can be easily removed by simply washing the garment at proper temperatures. 1 Under specific conditions of the study, the acetate knit fabric test material indicated no potential for dermal irritation or allergic contact sensitization.

EXCEPTIONAL VERSATILITY Here s your chance to give your customers the fashion that fits their many lifestyles. Extremely versatile, Naia cellulosic yarn can be used alone or blended to create the desired fabrics the market demands from comfortable everyday wear to luxurious lingerie to stunning evening apparel. In combination with other yarns, Naia affords almost unlimited possibilities for textural variety. It mixes well with cotton, silk, wool, linen, nylon, spandex, polyester, or viscose adding fine luxury when woven into a satin fabric and comfort when knitted with spandex into a jersey or interlock fabric.

DISTINCTIVE AND VERSATILE FINISHES Fabrics made from Eastman Naia cellulosic yarn naturally have a beautiful luster, creating a standout look. And for a more subdued appearance, the yarn is also available in a matte finish. Because of its inherent whiteness, Naia can be dyed to render bright fabrics consistently true in color across your entire collection. As the fashion universe continues to collide with the digital world, printing on fabric has become increasingly more important and prevalent. Digitally printed fabrics allow mills and brands to differentiate in the market. And mills have the flexibility to provide smaller volumes, while brands are able to create eclectic and trendy designs that can be easily translated onto fabrics. Designs on fabrics made with Naia can be printed using direct digital printing or transfer printing. TM FROM NATURE TO FASHION
