Fintage: Enviro Friendly Vintage Inspired Clothing & Accessories

Soy is a renewable resource and a byproduct of the food industry. (Soy silk is made from the by-products of the tofu-making process. The liquefied proteins are extruded into fibers which are then spun, and used like any other fiber. Soy fabric is rarer than organic cotton, which makes it more expensive, too. While not all soy fibers are organic, all soy fibers are generally better for the environment than most traditional fabrics. Fabrics made from soy fibers are soft and smooth with a silky luster. Soy is durable and stronger than wool, cotton, or silk. It is absorbent, breathes, resists persperation, and dries quickly. It is antibacterial, offers UV protection, resists wrinkes, does not shrink, and has good insulating properties. It retains warmth very well. There is no shrinkage, it does not wrinkle. However because soy fabric is still relatively rare, it is also more expensive than many other fibers.
