OUR FABRICS
Consciously choosing fabrics better for the environment
Eco Rib Lycra
Repreve eco rib is crafted from recycled plastic bottles, this eco-friendly fabric undergoes a meticulous process that begins with the bottles being washed, cut into flakes, and then melted down into tiny filaments. These filaments are extruded into a super-soft yarn, and woven into fabric. The ribbed texture is then dyed in a range of beautiful hues.
Recycled Lycra
Repreve recycled Lycra begins its journey as discarded plastic bottles, the material undergoes a meticulous process, where the bottles are thoroughly washed, cut into flakes, and melted down into tiny, versatile filaments. These filaments are extruded into yarn, serving as the foundation for our garments. At Trevena we purchase the base white lycra and ethically print our one-of-a-kind textile
patterns on the fabric.
Bamboo
Bamboo has resilient properties that alleviate the need for pesticides or fertilisers, which makes it ideal for our bodies and the ecosystem.
Our Bamboo material is 100% natural and biodegradable and ethically hand dyed in earthy hues.
Organic Cotton
Organic cotton is cultivated without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, promoting healthier soil and reducing the impact on ecosystems. This approach supports biodiversity and minimizes the ecological footprint associated with conventional cotton farming, offering a more sustainable environmentally conscious textile.
Linen / Rayon
Both Rayon and Linen are natural fibre fabrics and because of their biodegradable properties they are a perfect eco-friendly solution for a breathable, lightweight shirt / kimono.
Linen is made from woven flax plant fibres and Rayon is made natural sources, such as wood or agricultural products.
