Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a lotus made out of?
Lotus fabric is a process where fine and silky fibres are extracted from the lotus plant stem. Spun and woven in very traditional, manual ways, the fibres make up a very rare textile.
Why is the so-called lotus fabric a rare specimen?
The process to obtain the fibre material is completely manual, very fragile and time-consuming. To yield only a little quantity of yarn requires thousands of stems of lotus and so it is easily one of the rarest natural textiles in the world.
What is lotus fabric like?
Smooth, airy and feather-light. It is elegant, soft-touch and has a soothing finesse.
Is Lotus fibre environmentally friendly?
Yes. The textile is composed using natural and renewable biodegradable lotus stems, does not use any chemicals during production and employs craft techniques in the form of handloom weaving- this makes the fabric environmentally low impact.
Why is Lotus fabric special?
It is unique because of its breathability, soft feel and having no form of synthetic processing with the traditional, hand-made production process.
What kinds of clothes are made of lotus fabric?
High-end scarves, meditation clothing, shawls and special occasion wear that need to be lightweight, fine and have narratives.
Does the lotus cloth work well in hot seasons?
Absolutely. It is the type of material that will work well in a hot climate or when you are exposed to a lot of moisture.
Is it possible to mix lotus fabric and/or dye it?
Yes. Though used most frequently in its natural colour to maintain its purity, lotus yarn may either be combined with natural fibres, or dyed through low-impact and artisan dyeing methods.
Can I get lotus fabric in bulk?
It is of limited supply, owing to how it is done by hand and with great care, thus it exists in certain amounts and yet we can collaborate with brands and manufacturers in which we can create value with them.
