Description
## Fabric Overview
This Vegan Bamboo Silk fabric is a plant-based textile designed to offer the smoothness, subtle lustre, and fluidity associated with silk without using animal-derived fibres.
At 135 GSM, it is lightweight with enough substance to fall cleanly and form graceful folds. Its cool touch, breathable character, and elegant movement make it suitable for everyday luxury, occasionwear, and warm-weather garments.
## How the Fabric Is Made
Vegan Bamboo Silk is made using cellulose sourced from bamboo. The plant material is processed to extract cellulose, which is then converted into fine filaments through a controlled regeneration process.
These regenerated bamboo-derived fibres are spun into smooth yarns and woven into an even, lightweight fabric. The finished textile has a soft, silk-like surface and fluid drape while remaining entirely free from animal-derived silk.
Please note that this is a regenerated cellulose textile. It is not raw or mechanically extracted bamboo fibre.
