Spiber & JNBY Group Highlight the Brewed Protein™ Fiber
References: prnewswire
Spiber Inc., a biotechnology firm specializing in novel materials and known for the innovative Brewed Protein™ fiber, has entered into a partnership with the Chinese fashion conglomerate JNBY Group. This collaboration will see two of JNBY's primary brands — menswear label CROQUIS and the flagship label JNBY — incorporate Spiber's Brewed Protein™ fiber into their garment lines.
Spiber's material is a plant-derived fiber that was created through a fermentation process, which contributes to it potentially having a lower environmental footprint. It is then blended with fine wool to create the fabric for JNBY Group's wool coat silhouettes.
Moving beyond earlier partnerships with textile manufacturers, this initiative represents Spiber's first direct engagement with a consumer fashion brand in the Chinese market. The launch was highlighted during a forum at Shanghai Fashion Week, where the collaboration was presented as an example of sustainable innovation within the industry.
