At La Cave à Laine, we're committed to using sustainable and eco-friendly materials in our handbags. That's why we ALWAYS use natural fibers and thread. Natural fibers are biodegradable, renewable, and require less energy to produce than synthetic fibers. Here are five natural fibers we use in our handbags.

1. Cotton. Cotton is one of the most widely used natural fibers in the world. It's soft, breathable, and easy to care for, making it an excellent choice for handbags. We use Aegean Organic cotton whenever possible, which is grown without the use of harmful pesticides or synthetic fertilisers.

2. Hemp. Hemp is a versatile and sustainable natural fiber that has been used for thousands of years. It's durable, breathable, and resistant to mold and mildew, making it an excellent choice for handbags. Plus, it requires less water and pesticides to grow than cotton. Hemp is the fun addition to our new collection

3. Jute. Jute is a natural fiber that's made from the stem of the jute plant. It's strong, durable, and biodegradable, making it an excellent choice for eco-friendly handbags. Jute is also highly renewable and grows quickly, making it a sustainable choice for manufacturers. We are planning to use jute soon!

4. Linen. Linen is a natural fiber that's made from the fibers of the flax plant. It's lightweight, breathable, and highly absorbent, making it an excellent choice for handbags. Linen is also highly durable and has natural antibacterial properties. Our linen fabric comes from Lithuania.

5. Wool. Wool is a natural fiber that's made from the fleece of sheep. It's warm, breathable, and naturally resistant to odor and moisture, making it an excellent choice for handbags. Wool is also highly durable and can last for years with proper care.

In conclusion, natural fibers are an excellent choice for eco-friendly and sustainable handbags. At La Cave à Laine, we use a variety of natural fibers, including cotton, hemp, and linen, to create stylish and practical handbags that are kind to the environment.
