In a world where fast fashion is running out of steam, a new generation of designers is choosing to return to the essentials: noble, sustainable, and environmentally friendly materials. At ALTER EGO, this choice is at the heart of every creation. Lyocell, ramie, cupro, habutai silk — discover why these exceptional fibers are redefining the luxury of tomorrow.
Lyocell: the soft and eco-friendly fiber
Derived from eucalyptus wood pulp, lyocell (also known by the Tencel brand) is produced in a closed-loop system that recycles 99% of the solvents used. The result: an ultra-soft, breathable, temperature-regulating, and biodegradable fiber. Ideal for fluid dresses and tops worn close to the body.
Ramie: botanical nobility
Cultivated in Asia for millennia, ramie is one of the most resistant natural fibers in existence. Its slightly textured feel gives it a unique character, while its breathability makes it a material of choice for high-end summer pieces. It improves with time and washing.
Cupro: ethical silkiness
Made from recycled cotton waste, cupro offers a silky drape comparable to silk, with a much lower environmental impact. It is the material for fluid dresses and elegant trousers that glide over the skin with incomparable lightness.
Habutai silk: the quintessence of refinement
Fine, luminous, and incomparably soft, habutai silk is the material for special occasions. Used in our exceptional shirts and trousers, it brings the touch of discreet luxury that characterizes the ALTER EGO world.
Investing in noble materials means choosing durability
Unlike synthetic fibers that degrade quickly, ALTER EGO’s noble materials are designed to last. An investment in an exceptional piece is an ethical, aesthetic, and economic choice for the long term.
