Ramie is an eco friendly and highly sustainable fiber and therefore an alternative to synthetic fibers. It is naturally resistant to mold, mildew and bacteria, as well as light damage and rot and insect attacks. It can be healthily grown without any pesticides, herbicides and chemicals.

Ramie is made from the stalks of flowers of thew so called China Gras and is a chic vegan silk alternative and is lighter and airier. It is able to maintain shapes well. .

  • Ramie is one of the strongest natural fibers and is even stronger when it is wet and eight times stronger than cotton.
  • It introduces a silky luster to the appearance of fabric.

Blended with a extrafine Merino it is the perfect fit for garments, shawls and even socks.
