Why these fibres
Why natural fibres earn their place.
We choose natural and responsibly made cellulosic fibres because they begin with plants, wood or fleece—not conventional fossil-based plastic—and because they bring breathable, everyday comfort to textiles. No fibre is impact-free: farming, forestry, animal care, processing, dyeing, product life and end of life all matter. Our aim is not to claim that natural is perfect, but to choose traceable materials, accountable chemistry and pieces worth using for years.

Renewable beginnings
Cotton and jute are grown, wood-based cellulose and bamboo can regrow, and wool is replenished as fleece. Polyester, nylon and acrylic are commonly made from oil and gas. Responsibly sourced renewable feedstocks help us move away from virgin fossil resources.

Less plastic in the cycle
Synthetic textiles can release plastic microfibres while they are made, worn, washed and discarded. Natural fibres shed too, but they are not fossil-plastic polymers. Avoiding synthetic face fibres removes one recognized source of persistent microplastic pollution.

Comfort that breathes
Cotton, wool and cellulosic fibres can absorb and release moisture vapor; conventional polyester absorbs very little. Together with the right weave, this helps a throw feel less clammy and more comfortable as temperatures change.

Colour with accountability
Natural does not automatically make dyeing low-impact—shade, dye class, water, energy and mill practice all matter. For our organic cotton, GOTS restricts hazardous chemical inputs and sets controls for wet processing and wastewater.
A newly woven organic-cotton throw can feel firmer than a polyester fleece, especially when the fibre is not masked with a heavy softening finish. That first crispness is not a flaw—it is the honest hand of the yarn and weave.
With everyday handling and proper washing, the yarns relax and the surface becomes more supple. This is a throw made to be broken in—across the sofa, garden, beach, picnic or journey—then washed, used again and kept close for years.
At first
Naturally structured
Breathable, substantial and honest to the woven cotton yarn.
With use + washing
Relaxed and familiar
Softer, more flexible and increasingly personal to your daily life.
A note on skin comfort: no single fibre guarantees a reaction-free textile. Breathability, surface texture, dyes, finishes and detergent residues all matter—one reason controlled processing is as important to us as the fibre itself.
