Fountain Set (Holdings) Limited, a global leader in the manufacturing of knitted fabrics, announced the launch of its two latest fabrics under the consolidated brand name "fabric by Fountain Set". The organic cotton and Softa Fleece fabrics provide global customers with green and comfortable living.
Organic cotton eco fabric by Fountain Set:
The organic cotton used in fabric by Fountain Set is 100% purchased from certified organic cotton farming practitioners, who avoid the use of chemical fertilizers, synthetic pesticides and defoliants. Organic cotton not only improves the environment, but is also a preferred option for wearers with sensitive or allergic skin.
Softa Fleece comfort fabric by Fountain Set:
Softa Fleece fabric by Fountain Set is produced by a special technique which endows the fabric with stretchability, exceptionally low shrinkage and a hand-feel so soft that makes it irresistible to wearers. It is an ideal all-rounded fabric for harsh weather.
Dr Anthony Wan, Research and Development Director of Fountain Set, said, “People’s pursuit of sustainable development promoted green and healthy purchase trends in choosing daily garments. An increasing number of internationally renowned fashion brands have also introduced organic cotton garment lines in response to this growing consumer behavior.
Fountain Set, as an initiator in promoting a “Green Earth,” has long been working to improve the environment, not only in developing environmentally friendly products, but also in promoting the importance of sustainability of the entire textile industry environment.
Fountain Set will continue to invest in developing more environmentally friendly fabrics, so as to foster harmony between human and nature, and enhance mankind’s quality of life.”
The new organic cotton and Softa Fleece fabrics by Fountain Set will be exhibited at "interTEXTILE SHANGHAI Apparel Fabrics Show 2007” (29th October – 1st November 2007) in Shanghai, China.
During the exhibition, there will be fabric previews of a full range of fabrics by Fountain Set -- including the Dr Dry moisture management series, fabrics made with recycled cotton yarns, the latest ActivFresh C activated carbon series, as well as the 2008 fall/ winter collection -- all at Fountain Set’s largest ever booth (W2C66 / D71, Hall 2, sized 126 square meters).
