About Banana Cloth®

The yarn is made from a blend of cotton and fiber extracted from the vast amount of banana stalks that are discarded each year (up to 1 billion tons).

Bananas are attracting attention as the third fiber after cotton and hemp. They can also create new jobs for farmers.
It is not only environmentally friendly, but also people-friendly.

Shortly after bananas are harvested, new shoots begin to grow between the remaining stalks, and the bananas will bear fruit again in 3 to 6 months. In order to produce tasty bananas, farmers cut down the stalks after harvesting, leaving only the new shoots. These cut-down stalks are then discarded, and the amount of banana stalks discarded in 129 countries and regions around the world amounts to approximately 1 billion tons per year.

From banana stalks discarded in banana fields, 500 to 750 grams of fiber can be extracted from each stalk (approximately 25 kg). In other words, if we can utilize the stalks of bananas grown for food, there is no need to set up new fields and use water, pesticides, and energy to grow them just for the purpose of extracting fiber. By extracting natural fiber from something that was previously just discarded,
Making fabric from recycled materials can make a significant contribution to the realization of a circular society.

About Herb Fabric

Fabric that blends gently with nature

This is a hybrid dyeing method that combines natural dyes with beautiful colors extracted from the flowers, leaves, bark, and fruits of plants with environmentally friendly dyes.

Rather than dyeing the yarn all at once, it is dyed in three steps to allow the plant dye to settle at the end.

The natural dyeing process is very careful and time-consuming, and the colors do not fade.

The simple, rich colors make you feel the power of nature up close.

This one is dyed with tea.

Contains natural green tea extract and catechin
Tea catechins are said to have antibacterial properties and to have deodorizing and anti-odor properties (such as preventing putrid odors and ammonia odors).
