We strive to become the leader in sustainable textiles by combining sustainable raw materials with environmentally-friendly dyeing and finishing methods. We also look at process change technologies to find better ways of producing things that reduce the ecological footprint at the same time. We endeavour to realise a sustainable society from various perspectives, with our transparent raw material and closed-loop production system.

On our planet, various changes are required to realise a sustainable society. In the fashion industry as well, it is important to reduce the environmental impact and build a business model that solves social problems, from the perspectives of raw materials, production processes, and final products.

Under such circumstances, Bemberg™ has been changed to be more sustainable by establishing transparent procurement routes and introducing the closed-loop production system.

Material

The raw material of Bemberg™ is cotton linter that is a pre-consumer material obtained from the manufacturing process of cottonseed oil. Bemberg™ is a biodegradable and compostable fibre.

Circularity

Bemberg™ is a regenerated cellulose fibre that uses 100% cotton linter—a pre-consumer material, obtained from the manufacturing process of cottonseed oil. It is an environment-friendly material that is biodegradable and compostable for circularity, and undergoes environment-friendly production that includes a proprietary closed-loop system, enabling recovery and reuse of major chemicals, while achieving zero emissions of waste.

AIR DYE

With AirDye®, textile dyeing and printing can be done with a single machine, without the need for post-processes such as steaming, washing, and stentering, therefore saving vast amounts of water and energy. From stretch fabrics to the most delicate chiffon, AirDye® enables endless design possibilities, by enabling coloration of both sides of the fabric with solids or prints.  AirDye® is fast and simple, and saves up to 95% of the water, 86% of the energy, and 84% of the greenhouse gases, compared to conventional dye and print methods. On a single garment, the water savings alone can be as much as 170 litres. Go green without compromise!

Our customized paper is made in Japan using high quality pulp that is FSC-certified and coated with non-toxic chemicals to allow for a high sublimation level of inks.

Advantages of Cupro

Cupro has many advantages for those who wear it:

• It is breathable, absorbent and anti-perspirant. Cupro wicks away moisture very well and allows air to circulate very well also. It is one of the most absorbent materials on the textile market.
• It is an excellent thermoregulator.
• It is very soft, silky and fluid. Cupro can be easily compared to silk by its feel and fluidity.
• It is antistatic, which allows it to be easily used as a lining or under another material.
• It is very easy to care for. Cupro can be machine washed (no more than 30°C, out of respect for our planet) and as it is not a synthetic fibre. Washing it in a machine will not release plastic microfibres into our oceans!
• Cupro has both the softness of natural fibre and the properties of artificial fibres.

Differences from other artificial fibres such as Tencel / Lyocell / Modal

• A splendid silk touch. Cupro is a perfect compromise to realize fluid and silky clothes in a vegan version.
• Cupro is made from cotton waste, while Modal and Tencel are made from wood cellulose.
• It is softer, silkier and more absorbent than other artificial fibres.
• Only one company in the world has been able to develop this material. The patent was registered by the Japanese company Asahi Kasei, which offers a guarantee of quality.

A fully biodegradable material

Cupro is a 100% biodegradable material. Once placed in the ground, Cupro disintegrates very quickly and it does not represent any risk for the environment since the extracted fibre is vegetable.

Closed-circuit production

Cupro is manufactured only in closed circuit. That is to say that the water and the chemicals used for its production, are reused entirely until they are completely exhausted.

The recycling of products and materials used in the production of Cupro is guaranteed by the GRS (Global Recycled Standards) certification.

Cupro is an artificial fibre derived from cotton linter, a short, fluffy fibre that surrounds the seeds of the cotton plant. Before the appearance of Cupro, this part of the cotton was discarded because it was considered useless.

The lace

We use the finest French lace. The beauty and and elegance of lace, enhanced by embroidery techniques.
