The unique property of Lotus fiber

SIEM REAP, Cambodia - Sept. 7, 2016 - PRLog -- TO WEAVE A LASTING CONNECTION TO CREATE THE WELL-BEING OF THE POOREST TO THE RICHEST.

We believe that ecofashion is defined not just by the use of natural fibers, but also by the use of fair-trade Cambodian labour in every step of a sustainable eco fabrics supply chain.

It's with great pride that Samatoa bridges the gap between the rich and the poor using fair and ethical commerce, allowing formation, emancipation, and international recognition of our producers, to offer a chance to each man, and consequently vulnerable woman, to surpass their condition and elevate themselves, to accomplish "like the lotus flower growing above the muddy waters".

Experiment after experiment followed by research conducted in remote villages enabled Samatoa to bring back to life long forgotten skills. Thousands of years ago, the art of creating lotus fabrics was known, but then lost. Lotus flowers have been harvested in Cambodia for generations, but only the flower. The stems – the valuable stems – were left in the water. What a waste! We now harvest the stems and weave our lotus fabric from them. Lotus fabrics have unique properties: it is naturally soft, light, especiallybreathable, and almost wrinkle free.

It is also a very eco-friendly fabric containing no chemicals or toxic products. It's probably the most ecological fabric (http://samatoa.lotus-flower-fabric.com/worldpress/samatoa/) in the world. We transform a waste into a quality textile that doesn't use any polluting energy during the entirety of its production.

Starting with this uniquely soft and breathable fabric, we developed the first prototypes of our new collection. Our lotus fabrics are all made possible thanks to the skills of our artisans (http://samatoa.lotus-flower-fabric.com/worldpress/eco-tex...) who possess unparalleled savoir-faire, resulting in strikingly precise and detailed creations.
