COP28: BioFluff launches Savian in collaboration with Stella McCartney
The bio-materials start-up based in New York and Paris, BioFluffis set to redefine luxury textiles by introducing an innovative, eco-friendly, plant-based alternative to conventional animal- and plastic-derived fabrics. At the United Nations Climate Action Conference 2023 (COP28) in Dubai, BioFluff announces the launch of Savian, its flagship luxury materials brand, in collaboration with Stella McCartney.
“Savian represents a paradigm shift in luxury materials innovation, offering a collection of fabrics imitating fur, shearling and wool made from natural plant fibers,” explains BioFluff. Developed using exclusive technologies, this vegan collection is not only 100 percent GMO-free, but also incorporates natural and mineral colorants, presenting a wide range of sustainable materials.
A coat made from hemp, linen and nettle
As part of the COP28 “Stella McCartney Sustainable Marketplace: Innovating tomorrow’s solutions“, Savian unveiled its first coat: a creation inspired by Stella’s iconic designs. This long coat, a testament to McCartney’s commitment to alternatives to fur, was made entirely in Italy using an innovative approach inspired by nature and using plant fibers such as hemp, linen and nettle.
This creation represents the first fur coat made exclusively from genuine plant fibers, ensuring that no competition is created for animal or human food resources, as these fibers are by-products of agricultural crops.
