100% Banana Satin Fabric – 110–120 GSM, RFD, 44" & 58" Width.
This 100% banana satin fabric is developed for brands, garment units, and importers who want a premium-looking fabric with a genuine sustainable story. Made entirely from banana fibre, it offers a soft, smooth hand feel with a gentle sheen, while still being plant-based, biodegradable, and derived from agricultural waste rather than new raw resources.
With a GSM in the 110–120 range, this satin is lightweight with a fluid drape, making it suitable for womenswear, occasionwear, scarves, slips, linings, resortwear, and other elevated eco-fashion programs for international markets. The satin weave construction gives a clean, lustrous face that showcases solid dyes and prints very well, supporting both minimal and high-fashion styling.
The fabric is supplied in RFD (Ready for Dye) form, so it is prepared for processing and can be dyed directly with natural dyes or azo-free dyes, helping B2B buyers maintain cleaner, more responsible and compliant dyeing workflows without extra pre-treatment steps. Offered in 44" and 58" widths, it fits standard cutting and marker requirements for both domestic and export production.
Machine wash cold or hand wash at a maximum of 30°C, dry in shade only, and use a low-temperature iron if needed.

1. What is 100% Banana Satin Fabric made from?
It is woven entirely from banana fibre, a plant‑based, cellulose fibre extracted from banana plant waste such as the pseudostem and stalks. In this construction it is a satin weave at roughly 110–120 GSM, with a smooth face and gentle sheen suitable for apparel and accessories.
2. How does banana satin feel on the skin?
Banana satin feels soft, smooth, and slightly cool, often compared to a blend of silk and fine viscose. The satin weave gives a polished surface, while the natural fibre base keeps it comfortable for next‑to‑skin use.
3. What is the drape like at 110–120 GSM?
At this weight the fabric has a light, fluid drape rather than a stiff one, which works well for dresses, scarves, slips, and linings that need movement without being too heavy.
4. What widths are available, and how are they used?
The fabric is offered in both 44" and 58" widths, so pattern teams can choose narrow width for smaller pieces or accessories and 58" for efficient bulk cutting in womenswear and resortwear.
5. What are the main uses of 100% Banana Satin Fabric?
Typical applications include womenswear, occasionwear, scarves, slips, soft linings, resortwear, and other elevated eco‑fashion styles that benefit from a satin surface and fluid drape.
6. Is banana satin suitable for scarves and wraps?
Yes, the combination of light weight, smooth touch, and subtle sheen makes it well suited for scarves, stoles, and wraps that sit comfortably on the neck and shoulders.
7. Can it be used for linings in jackets and dresses?
It can. The smooth satin face and breathable, plant‑based fibre content make it a good alternative to synthetic linings in dresses, skirts, and light jackets.
8. Is this fabric appropriate for resortwear and summer capsules?
Because banana fibre is breathable and moisture‑absorbing, and the satin structure is relatively light, this fabric fits well into resortwear and warm‑weather collections where airiness and drape matter.
9. Does banana satin work for eco‑friendly fashion fabrics ranges?
Yes. Being derived from agricultural waste and fully plant‑based, it fits naturally into eco‑friendly fashion fabrics lines, especially for brands building a plant‑based satin fabric or “fruit‑fibre” story.
10. How should garments made from banana satin be washed?
Usual guidance is gentle wash in cool water with mild detergent, avoid chlorine bleach, and line‑dry or use a low tumble setting. As with other fine satins, heat and harsh agitation should be avoided to protect the surface.
11. Does banana satin shrink after washing?
Some dimensional change is normal for lightweight cellulosic fabrics, including banana fibre, so pre‑washing or pre‑shrinking before cutting is recommended to stabilise sizes for bulk production.
12. Is the fabric prone to creasing or snagging?
Like other satin weaves, it can crease and may snag on sharp objects or rough handling. Using fine needles, appropriate thread, and controlled machine settings in the sewing line helps maintain a smooth finish.
13. Is 100% banana satin comfortable for sensitive skin?
Banana fibre fabrics are generally reported as soft and skin‑friendly when properly processed, and the satin face further reduces surface roughness. Final comfort will also depend on the dyes, finishes, and laundry products used.
14. What is Ayurkruti’s MOQ for 100% Banana Satin Fabric?
The minimum order quantity is 5 metres. This allows designers, sampling teams, and small labels to trial the fabric or develop limited‑run styles without large commitments.
15. When does wholesale or bulk pricing start?
If a single order for this banana satin goes above 100 metres, wholesale or bulk pricing can be applied, which supports garment units and larger brands planning production runs.
16. Is this fabric suitable for export buyers in EU and US markets?
Yes. A plant‑based satin with an agricultural‑waste origin fits current interest in eco‑friendly fashion fabrics, as long as the ayurkruti can support this with relevant test reports and documentation.
17. Why is banana satin seen as a sustainable, plant‑based fabric?
The fibre is extracted from banana plant waste that would otherwise be discarded, so it uses an existing by‑product rather than additional land or water for new crops. It is cellulosic and fully plant‑derived, which supports plant‑based and natural‑fibre narratives in fashion.
18. Is 100% banana satin biodegradable?
Banana fibre is a natural cellulosic material and is reported to be biodegradable and compostable when not combined with synthetic fibres or heavy coatings. The overall garment impact will depend on chosen trims, inks, and finishes.
19. Can this fabric work in compliance‑focused dyeing workflows?
Because it is supplied RFD and can be dyed with natural or azo‑free dyes, it fits well into cleaner, more compliant dyeing processes aimed at meeting typical EU/US chemical limits.
20. How does banana satin sit alongside other eco‑friendly options?
Within a range that may include bamboo, hemp, or lyocell, banana satin offers a slightly different story: it is a fruit‑plant waste fibre, has a soft hand, and can visually compete with silk‑like fabrics while staying in the plant‑based category.
