We were so pleased to be invited by The University of Huddersfield to speak at the Future Fibers Network+ Sandpit meeting last week. The objective was to bring together academia and the textile industry, to reflect on sustainability challenges and how we can tackle them collectively.

About us
With roots stretching back to 1783, Camira is a textile manufacturer with centuries of heritage and a forward-thinking approach. Designing and manufacturing beautifully woven, environmentally sensitive fabrics for the commercial, residential and transportation sectors, we place our vision for a sustainable future at the heart of all we do. From the creation of our first recycled polyester fabric in 1997, through to the 2021 launch of Quest - a textile woven using plastic marine waste - we are continuously exploring new ways in which to deliver fabrics that stand up to the most demanding of environments, without ever compromising on achieving our ambition of a natural textile landscape.

Characterised by its beautiful simplicity, yet maintaining hidden depths of complexity in the creation of its colours, Blazer’s familiar wool felt surface undergoes a fundamental process, known as milling, where pressure and repeated friction is applied to the fabric, entangling the wool fibres to conceal the weave and create a non-directional textile where the colour takes centre stage. 🎭 Drop us a message to order a free sample or find out more at info@camirafabrics.com 📧
