Cellulosic acetate, in its usual filament fiber form, is renowned for being one of the most reliable materials for achieving that signature silky look. But with its staple version, Naia™ adds an entire world of new potential that fits beautifully with the needs and demands of the woven textile industry. The innovative ingredient is the ideal component to blend with the highest quality fibers that characterize luxury, such as wool, linen, cashmere, and many more.

Naia™ staple fibers produce soft fabrics that are durable, quick drying, can manage odor, and ensure a long-lasting micro-climate comfort—perfect for every season. With a commitment to both comfort and sustainability, Naia™'s cellulosic fiber is produced using sustainably sourced wood pulp. It is biodegradable, compostable and created with a safe, closed-loop process that recycles solvents back into the system, minimizing environmental impact.

The fibers can be woven into premium, lightweight and flowy fabrics, with exceptional benefits for designers and fashion lovers who want to feel and look trendy every day, from work life to social life. Its unique soft feel, combined with easy care and reduced pilling, makes it a top choice for those seeking smooth, stylish and eco-conscious fabrics.
