BEMBERG LINING
Bemberg is our preferred lining.
Bemberg, a high-quality brand of cupro produced in Japan, is a regunerated cellulose fiber made from cotton waste. Not only does it provide a luxe silky feel, is breathable, hypoallergenic and is a thermoregulator but it has numerous environmentaly friendly qualities inlcuding:
- Being 100% plant based
- Is biodegradable
- Recyclable
- Is produced in a closed loop cycle meaning the waste and water used can be extracted and reused.
- It has a lower ecological footprint compared to other similar materials
- The factory where it is produced generates 40% of their own power from sources such as hydro power generation and biomass power generation. They also aim to have 100% zero emissions – something that is close to being achieved by reducing, recycling and eliminating waste.
