VEGAN MATERIALS
Committed to sustainable fashion and environmental responsibility, Rosie Hong utilizes vegan materials for its products and packaging. Eco-friendly and vegan fabrics not only contribute to environmental protection but also guarantee skin safety and user-friendliness. Choosing vegan materials aligns with Rosie Hong’s mission to foster sustainable and socially responsible fashion. Here are some of the main eco-friendly and “vegan” fabrics we use in our products:
COTTON
Cotton fabric, derived from natural cotton fibers, is celebrated for its exceptional absorbency, breathability, and non-toxic qualities, making it suitable for individuals with sensitive skin, including children. Notably durable, it offers ease of maintenance, being both machine washable and easy to iron. As an eco-friendly and recyclable material, cotton fabric exhibits strong odor absorption properties and resilience when wet. To preserve cotton fabric, it is recommended to wash it separately from colored clothes, avoid hot water, minimize harsh washing techniques, and opt for gentle detergents. Additionally, drying cotton fabric in a cool place, away from direct sunlight, helps prevent fading or discoloration.
ORGANIC COTTON
Organic cotton, a sustainable alternative to traditional cotton, is cultivated without the use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or genetically modified seeds. Throughout its production process, from raw cotton growth to finished fabric, organic cotton is rigorously controlled to ensure the absence of toxic substances, making it safe for both wearers and the environment. To maintain organic cotton fabric, washing in cold or warm water below 40 degrees Celsius is recommended to prevent shrinkage or fading, while ironing at low temperatures and using mild detergents further ensures the fabric’s integrity.
LINEN
Woven from the flax plant’s stems and roots, linen fabric is revered for its softness, excellent absorbency, and quick evaporation, making it suitable for direct sun drying without concern for deterioration. Boasting high heat resistance and recyclability, linen fabric also offers durability and resistance to shrinkage or deformation when washed at high temperatures. To preserve linen fabric, sorting clothes by color before washing, using cold or warm water, and refraining from strong detergents are advisable practices.
BAMBOO
Derived from the cellulose of bamboo stems, bamboo fabric is exceptionally breathable and highly hygroscopic, absorbing sweat at a rate 3-4 times greater than regular cotton fabric. Featuring natural antibacterial properties and hypoallergenic qualities, bamboo fabric offers comfort and safety for users, while being machine washable and recyclable. To preserve bamboo fabric, gentle hand washing, avoiding vigorous rubbing, and drying in a cool place away from direct sunlight are recommended. Ironing at low temperatures and refraining from strong detergents further ensure the longevity of the fabric.
LYOCELL
Crafted from 100% natural wood pulp using a modern production process that avoids toxic chemicals, lyocell fabric offers high moisture absorption and comfort, remaining less wrinkled than cotton. Retaining color well after multiple washes and boasting high durability, lyocell fabric is renowned for its environmental friendliness and versatile applications. To preserve lyocell fabric, washing in cold or warm water, employing gentle cycle machine wash, and avoiding strong detergents are advisable. Limiting the use of clothes dryers and ironing at low temperatures further contribute to maintaining the fabric’s quality and appearance.
