Your website lists other natural materials and processes from vegetable tanned leather to a material called Lyocell what exactly is Lyocell and how do you guys use it in your clothing? Naz&Court’s soft, breathable, wrinkle resistant, luxurious Lycocell fabric is an environmental dream come true. It’s made from a naturally occurring cellulose fiber found in eucalyptus trees.The amine oxide solvent used to break down the wood pulp is non-toxic and can almost be completely recovered and recycled during the manufacturing process. The fiber will customarily degrade completely in a short time with no harm to the ecosystem in which it’s properly discarded. One of your unique materials is the Open Blue Cobia Leather, what exactly is this? Naz&Court fish leather is a new alternative to mammal leather. There are so many new fishing companies that use state-of-the-art sustainable methods, whose waste product is a perfectly usable skin. We are inspired by the beauty and conservation of the seas and want to incorporate these unique leather pieces into as many of our designs as possible.
