Leading textile giants, JayaShree Textiles (part of Aditya Birla Group) and DuPont, have come together with a fabric collection made with DuPont Biomaterials Sorona®, a sustainable, partially bio-based polymer.
With linen and partially bio-based Sorona® fibres to create garments with exceptional stretch and recovery, luxurious drape and a smooth, soft hand feel, the collaboration also meets the needs of a growing demand for sustainable fashion options.
“JayaShree Textiles is very excited to collaborate with the Sorona® team to launch the collection of Linen/Sorona® Agile fabric. This fabric is a great choice for brands and retailers looking at sustainable ways to explore comfort stretch in linen fabrics. It is an excellent choice for both top wear and bottom wear apparel,” said Satyaki Ghosh, CEO, JayaShree Textiles.
“We believe collaboration is the only way we will deliver on our promises to the textile industry. Our collaboration with JayaShree Textiles is a testimony to the type of effort that will allow more apparel brands the opportunity to address tomorrow’s challenges through renewably sourced fibre materials without compromising performance and value,” said Renee Henze, Global Marketing and Commercial Development Director at DuPont Biomaterials.
Established in 1949, JayaShree Textiles has been making the finest, most fashionable linen using advanced European technology and high-quality flax sourced from Belgium and France. This, combined with an untiring dedication to innovation and perfection, has cemented JayaShree Textiles as the leading provider of the finest range of linen in India.
With a rich history of textile innovation, DuPont has invented ground breaking fibres such as nylon, Lycra® and rayon. Its Sorona® brand — made from 37 per cent renewable plant-based ingredients — offers a high-performing, responsibly sourced material option.
Fibres made with Sorona® polymer are currently used in various apparel applications, including athleisure and athletic wear, insulation, swimwear, outerwear, suiting, faux fur and more.
