Latex and natural products

BY admin on February 26, 2013

Most people don’t think of latex as a natural product because of it’s futuristic shine and sexualized looks, however latex is one of the most ‘green’ products you could use to create fashions or other items from. Latex is made from a sap that comes from rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis also known as the Pará rubber tree). It’s biodegradable and leaves very little impact on the environment once discarded.

We love the work that Miriam Ponsa has done in creating a latex and paper pleated jumper. The creativity and reflection of what the earth provides directly to us in terms of materials that can be used in clothing is brilliant. Miriam is a young designer from Spain and we wish her the best with her career. You can check out her work at her website:
