This uniquely upcycled fabric is hand-loomed by a weaving cooperative in West Bengal, India. Waste milk protein is used to produce casein fibers. Through a meticulous process of grinding, dissolving, purifying, and spinning, an exceptionally soft and smooth yarn is created that breathes new life into discarded materials.
