In order to highlight its deep commitment to responsible innovation, Bemberg by Asahi Kasei decided to exhibit within the Smart Creation, Première Vision’s cutting-edge area for responsible innovations covering fibres, yarns, fabrics and innovative technologies.

“For more than 80 years the story of Bemberg has shaped a new future for smart innovation through heritage, research, knowledge and expertise to deliver the new face of Bemberg: an original material for modern living. Made by Asahi Kasei, the company is the sole maker of this one-of-a-kind, matchless, high-tech natural material, with a unique and precious touch and feel,” the company says.

In Paris next week, the company will speed up on its responsible profile and showcase the unique range of materials developed by its premium partners within the Smart Creation area, an informative, educational, visionary and multimedia space, where exhibitors, designers, buyers and fashion brands can experience and truly visualise the progress the industry is making in terms of responsibility.

Bemberg will present a full range of new fabrics developed by manufacturers from around the world, including Ekoten, Euromaglia, Fiveol Textil, Infinity, Ipeker, Jackytex, Lanificio Europa, Le tinto by Stylem, Matias-Araujo, SMI Tessuti, Sidonios Knitwear, T.B.M Group, Tessitura Uboldi Luigi, TINTEX Textiles as well as the luxury linings from Brunello, Gi Tessil Foderami, Gianni Crespi Foderami, Manifattura Pezzetti, and Tessitura Marco Pastorelli.

“And through these fabric partners we have seen new premium washable Manifattura Pezzetti’s developments that blend the preciousness of the Bemberg fibre with the ease of a washable item. A smart solution for the contemporary wardrobe,” the company adds.

Bemberg is made from a cotton linter pre-consumer material, a natural derived source, and a truly unique one in the smart fibre arena that doesn’t deplete forestry resources. Customers can see the circularity of Bemberg from its source, manufacture and end-of-life credentials, supported by the LCA study, signed by ICEA and validated by Paolo Masoni.
