Wood you underwear these ?
|
Did you know Trivia - An entire range of eco-underwear including knickers and bras is being created from wood by an innovative clothes designer. The finished garments are claimed to be as soft as silk, so splinters are not an issue.
The fibres are extracted from tree branches before being spun into a fabric which is then used to make the eco-underwear. The production process starts with large branches being selected from white pine trees in North America and Canada during normal harvesting and they are then shipped to Montilliers in France for processing
The lingerie has been created by French fashion designer Sophie Young after her child suffered an allergic reaction to dye in clothing. The fabric has many more microscopic holes than polyester, and so extra air can circulate making for a more hygienic product. The natural fibres are also claimed to absorb twice as much humidity (engineers might call that sweat) than cotton which prevents bacteria from growing.
