Leave a Comment / Fashion, Fast Fashion, Handlooom Store, Natural Fiber /

The fashion industry has a talent for reinventing the same old problem with a new shiny label. First, they sold us polyester as “future fabric.” Then they sold viscose as “plant-based sustainability.” Then bamboo rayon arrived with green packaging and guilt-free branding. Now, the new hero is: Lyocell — often sold under the brand name […]

Rayon is one of the biggest success stories in the fashion industry. Not because it is sustainable. Not because it is ethical.

Sustainable clothing has become the most abused term in the fashion industry. Today, almost every brand is suddenly “eco-friendly.” Even polyester brands—yes, plastic clothing brands—are now claiming they are saving the planet because they recycled plastic bottles into fabric.

For years, sustainability was treated like a spice—sprinkle it on a tag, price it higher, and hope no one asks questions. That party is officially over.
