SUSTAINABLY SOURCED
"Our commitment to sustainability and eco-consciousness drives us to source and create products from various eco-friendly materials. We take pride in two of our remarkable materials: Water Hyacinth and Microfiber leather.
Water Hyacinth is a plant known for its rapid growth and ability to multiply in water bodies, often causing environmental issues. However, through innovative technology, Khanithara transforms this invasive plant into a valuable resource. By air-drying the water hyacinth, we completely remove its moisture, resulting in a fragrant and lightweight material. This dried water hyacinth serves as an excellent replacement for shredded paper, making it perfect for flexible and lightweight cushions that protect items from damage during transportation. The material's dry nature also prevents mildew, making it suitable for carrying fruits and vegetables without any concerns.
Our water hyacinth products are 100% natural and biodegradable, ensuring they create no waste and leave a minimal environmental footprint. By choosing these eco-friendly alternatives, we contribute to reducing plastic waste, thus fostering a more sustainable and greener planet.
Thai Fabric, known for its exceptional quality and unique characteristics, boasts a tightly-woven texture, fine grain, and lustrous colors that remain vibrant even after washing. We offer an array of traditional Thai fabric styles, each reflecting the rich heritage and artistry of Thailand.
One such style is Mudmee, renowned for its intricate geometric patterns created using a weaving technique where silk threads are dyed before weaving. This method imparts color through the vertical warp and designs through the horizontal weft, resulting in a captivating interplay of hues and patterns.
Plain Weave Thai silk showcases uniform threads that produce an even and smooth finish, often woven with two colors to create a stunning two-toned shine.
Dupion Thai silk employs threads of varying thickness with knots or lumps, adding an organic and textured appearance to the fabric.
Lastly, our Brocade Thai silk is the epitome of elegance and complexity. Crafted using extra silk threads during weaving, this style produces an embossed or embroidered texture, making it the most intricate and sophisticated type of Thai silk.
Additionally, we are proud to introduce Microfiber Leather, a synthetic leather material that captures the essence of real leather without any harm to animals. This fabric consists of microfiber non-woven fabric coated with high-performance PU (polyurethane) resins. The result is a material that replicates the feel and characteristics of genuine leather while offering remarkable benefits, such as hydrolysis resistance, aging resistance, outstanding abrasion resistance, and anti-bacterial properties. Moreover, it is eco-friendly, washable, and lightweight, making it a perfect choice for environmentally conscious consumers.
At Khanithara, our devotion to sustainable materials drives us to continuously innovate and create products that align with our values. By choosing our eco-friendly options, you not only enjoy high-quality and beautiful products but also contribute to the preservation of our planet for future generations."
