Linen is a natural fabric, one of the oldest kinds of textiles in the word. It is made from flax fibre. These long fibers make it resilient and able hold its shape for longer and non-pilling. The strands are thicker than cotton, giving linen its distinctive texture.
In addition to all the qualities of conventional linen, you are additionally benefiting from a product that is free from chemicals in the production and therefore not cause any harmful effects on the environment and the ecosystem.
Cotton is a natural white or off-white fiber from the cotton plant, and can be made into a variety of fabrics.
More than 25% of the pesticides used worldwide are used in the production of conventional cotton. This poses risks to the environment and to the health of farmers.
In this way the goal of MiN is to use always organic cotton that is grown without toxic and synthetic chemical inputs. Its production sustains the health of soils, ecosystems and people by using natural processes better for our health and better for the environment.
A regenerated cellulose fiber derived from cotton linter – cotton waste after it’s been ginned.
Through a particular process these fibres are loose and extruded obtaining a very subtle yarn.
Its bulky and capillary structure allows the accomplishment to a material with unique characteristics of comfort, ventilation, and resistance, but also of extraordinary delicacy and non-toxic characteristics.
Wool is a natural fiber of animal origin. The most common wool is from sheep, when their thick winter coats are shorn in warmer months. It’s characterized by the dense fuzzy yarn that gives a flexible and elastic quality, so garments can return to their natural shape.
End of stock – Fabrics that come to life
The fashion industry is one of the sectors that produces the most waste in the world, and these textile wastes are often simply discarded. From our many trips to the factories we have noticed that there is a huge amount of unused fabric rolls which are left around in the warehouses. So we use these fabrics to reduce waste material that goes to landfills and thereby could cause more destruction to the environment.
We believe that this method is just as environmentally conscious as using organic and sustainable fabrics. We are very pleased and excited to be using the end of stock and left over fabrics in our collections, creating amazing and unique pieces from discarded fabrics that come to life in our studio.
These fabrics are bought and produced in ethical factories which comply with demanding environmental and safety standards. Throughout the entire production process they carry out strict quality control. The stock of these pieces is limited. If you are lucky enough to have a MiN garment with this feature, it means that we have made less than 5 pieces of this fabric! It is therefore a very exclusive piece!
