‘We hand-picked this luxury fabric and love it because it is Ramie Cotton – famous for its luxurious feel, antibacterial properties, breathability and durability. Plus, it is unique in the fact that it actually improves with time.’

 

What is Ramie?

RAMIE is an all-natural, cellulosic fiber made from the inner bark of the Ramie plant.  Farmers in Asia have been using this plant and turning it into fabric through primarily all-natural methods for thousands of years.

Although Ramie is not flexible or elastic the fabric made from this fiber is strong, light, breathable and durable. Plus, it dries quickly. Like Bamboo, it is also anti-bacterial making it a very healthy fabric to wear.

One of Ramie’s best positive qualities is the fact that Ramie does not shrink. Unlike other natural fibers, ramie holds its shape very well even when washed in hot water. Cotton and other shrinking materials benefit from being blended with ramie.
