Sorona is a partially plant-based polymer developed by DuPont, offering an eco-friendly alternative to spandex.
Fabrics made with Sorona have a beautiful stretch without the need for elastane and are incredibly soft and supple. These fabrics are also lightweight, breathable, moisture-wicking, quick-drying, and resistant to wrinkles and fading.
Since Sorona is a polymer, it is often blended with natural fibers like cotton, linen, or viscose—sometimes all three. The blend makes it versatile for creating garments for all seasons, from summer skirts and shorts to cozy autumn shakets and spring blazers. Sorona is a unique fabric, so we highly recommend ordering samples to experience its feel firsthand.
On a technical note, Sorona is 37% plant-based, requires 30% less energy to produce, and emits 50% fewer greenhouse gases compared to nylon production from non-renewable resources.
