Natural Rubber Latex as a Fashion Material
Natural rubber latex is a fashion material, much like cotton, linen or cashmere. Once associated with specialist garments, it now has an established place in contemporary fashion, offering a distinctive appearance, remarkable versatility and exceptional scope for creative design.
Our specialist experience working with natural rubber latex allows us to create clean silhouettes, expressive forms and refined garments with a character unlike conventional textiles.
