Billon Design Unveils a Polyamide Vegetal Knit

The new addition is environmentally conscientious as it is made from a vegetal polyamide created from a base of castor oil and Lycra Xtra Life (8%) and is particularly adapted to the needs of the swimwear and sportswear segments. Coming from a herbaceous plant that grows rapidly without the need of much water, castor oil is rich in proteins, water and lipids and is known for its nourishing and revitalizing qualities, already used in the cosmetics industry. Énola, the name of this new range of knits, brings together comfort, suppleness, and estheticism thanks to its fineness, ultra soft touch and satin aspect. Equally high performing, this range boasts thermal properties and is naturally bacteriostatic like the plant it comes from, it is also quick drying with a resistance to crumpling, chlorine and oils and sun creams. For the launch, Énola will be presented in bright red in homage to the castor flower but numerous other colors will be available on demand.
