BENEFITS OF NAIA
ACETATE
WHY NAIA?
Over 300 million trees are cut down every year to make clothes and 30% of cellulosic fibers (acetate, rayon and viscose to name a few) used in fashion comes from protected ancient and endangered forests. If placed end-to-end those trees would circle the Earth seven times. In order to treasure and protect the natural environments we depend on, Sans Faff has sourced forest friendly fabrics made from Eastman Naia™ cellulosic fibers for our signature tailoring.
