Satin Cupro
Luxurious and silky with a fluid drape, our satin effortlessly blends elegance and comfort. This plant-based fabric is a great vegan alternative to silk, and is derived from cotton linter - the fuzzy fibre that’s usually discarded during cotton production. It follows a closed-loop production process, recycling solvents used in its creation and minimising chemical usage. Hypoallergenic, durable, and breathable, this is fabric to make you shine.

Chiffon
Our chiffon fabric is breezy and soft, and is perfect for creating the sexy silhouettes that FARA Boutique is known for, and it’s light weight allows it to float around you like a dream. The Chiffon we are using is currently nylon, making it our only non biodegradable fabric, but we’ve been actively searching for a more eco friendly alternative, and will start using a plant based alternative by the end of this year.

Lyocell Twill
Crafted from wood pulp, this eco-friendly fibre is breathable and suitable for all seasons. The twill weave creates durability, and although it has a soft cottony touch, it not only uses a lot less water in production and dying, but also in aftercare, as the airy fabric is great in humidity, and needs a lot less washing than cotton or other alternatives. Its closed loop manufacturing allows the non toxic solvents used in production to be reused up to 200 times, meaning there is very little waste in this process. This plant based fibre is quickly becoming one of our all time favourites.

Modal
Crafted from beech trees, and blended with hemp, our modal stands out as an up and coming sustainable fabric. Its production demands significantly less water than cotton, using 10-20 times less water in the growing process, and uses 50% less water in the dying process, due to its high absorbency levels. Like all FARA Boutique fabrics, it is super breathable, comfortable, and of course soft and lustrous to wear.

Wild Silk
Our wild silk is spun by Artisans in Varanasi, who collect the silk threads from silkworms who have naturally discarded their cocoons, and already hatched into moths. This creates short strands of silk to be weaved together, making a thicker, more linen-like weave in the fabric, meaning it’s still soft, but more durable than other silks. This is known to be one of the least invasive methods of silk production, and the end result is truly remarkable.
-
Silk Crepe
The beauty of crepe silk lies in its crinkled texture and appearance, lending it an unmistakable and sophisticated charm. This texture is achieved by twisting and weaving the silk fibres in a specific way during the production process. The fabric's fluidity allows the sensual touch of the skin that FARA Boutique garments are known for, but with more weight to it than the habotai, giving it a more opaque appearance.
-
Silk Habotai
Our signature fabric is Silk Habotai - a delicate silk that allows our garments to drape elegantly, and as the name suggests from its Japanese origins, feel like a feather against your skin. This beautiful material not only feels amazing with its natural sheen and gentle lustre, but also has moisture wicking qualities, meaning it is perfect to absorb our eco-friendly dyes and is very breathable, allowing you to feel cooler in hot climates. The soft fall of this fabric is a FARA Boutique classic, the lightness allowing freedom of movement, as your silhouette dances in the subtle sheerness.
-
Banana Silk
An ancient material, that found origin in the Philippines is a fabric that is finally making waves in sustainable fashion. Crafted from otherwise discarded pith of the banana plant, this fibrous material creates a strong, breathable plant based alternative to silk, complete with signature lustrous shine. The fall of the fabric replicates FARA boutique's signature fluid drape, softly billowing against your skin.
-
Linen
Our new linen fabric is made up of a linen-rayon blend. Linen, derived from flax is a well structured, breathable fabric, similar to cotton in feel, but uses a lot less water in its cultivation, making it much more environmentally friendly. The rayon adds softness to the fabric, adding our signature flow to the garments, although man made - this semi-synthetic fibre is produced using renewable wood pulp, and at the end of it's life, can biodegrade.
