Japan’s nature and culture are deeply connected with people’s lives.
Bamboo, a familiar plant to the Japanese, possesses excellent properties utilized across various applications.
This season, Goldwin Lifestyle Collection introduces an original fabric blending bamboo’s attributes with Japan’s essence, offering high-quality items that resonate with nature.
Characteristics of Bamboo
Bamboo, known for its lightweight and durability, grows rapidly, enabling shorter harvesting cycles and quicker regeneration than wood. It thrives without pesticides or fertilizers, fostering a sustainable and eco-friendly environment. Goldwin’s integration of bamboo reflects its commitment to developing “naturally derived functional materials,” aligning with Japan’s ethos of harmony with nature. Bamboo, deeply ingrained in Japanese culture, inspires the creation of bamboo rayon fabric, boasting superior moisture absorption and flexibility, thus ensuring comfort through a balance of natural and synthetic fibers.
Original Fabric Details
Goldwin has developed a unique fabric combining bamboo-derived rayon with functional natural materials like cotton and wool.
Blending in bamboo rayon adds softness and drape to typically stiff wool and cotton fabrics, resulting in comfortable wear. Additionally, mixing chemical fibers (polyester) with rayon enhances quick-drying properties, wrinkle resistance, and shape stability. This fabric focuses on harmonizing these fiber characteristics.
