OUR MATERIALS

Natural fibres, certified where possible.

LUSANA’s certified fabric componentry includes Lenzing™ Modal, European Flax® Linen and GOTS Organic Cotton. Each LUSANA piece is cut, sewn and silk-screen printed by hand in Bali, Indonesia. Every garment is unique, showcasing traditional Indonesian methods of tie-dye, hand-marbling and batch dyeing. All dyes used are non-toxic and in full compliance with OEKO-TEX® Standard 100.


Organic Cotton Poplin

LUSANA’s Organic Cotton Poplin is grown in India and milled in Java, Indonesia. It is certified under the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS). Non GMO seeds without the use of any chemical fertilizers, increased farmer rights and a higher selling price are the main reasons why LUSANA chooses to offer this fabrication.

Crepe Georgette

Lenzing™ Modal Georgette is a man-made cellulosic fibre that orginates from Forest Stewardship Coucil certified beech plantations in Austria. The fibre is produced in a closed loop production process which recycles water and solvent. This textured, luxe fabric supports our bodie’s natural thermal regulation process and is hypoallegenic.

EUROPEAN FLAX®

EUROPEAN FLAX® is completely traceable from flax seed to milled fabric. It is grown exclusively in France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Each part of the plant is used resulting in a zero-waste process. The plant requires no irrigation while farming nor are any chemicals used in the production process.

Cotton Crochet

LUSANA offers select styles of both hand-crochet and machine-knit pieces that are made from cotton. Hand-crochet items are produced by a community supply chain designed around female-managed community-based workshops in the hinterlands of West Bali, Indonesia.

Rayon Voile

Rayon is made from wood cellulose. It is a locally sourced fibre in Indonesia. The soft and lightweight fabrication is suitable for warmer climes. LUSANA collections feature select designs made in Rayon Voile, as well as using the fabrication for most inner linings for statement dresses.

LEGEND

OUR SUPPLY CHAIN

LUSANA operates a centralized supply chain that is based in Indonesia. The brand works directly with Tier 1, Tier 2 and in some cases Tier 3 suppliers. Each supplier agrees to accept a purchase order in conjunction with the brand’s Code of Conduct. The brand implements biannual site visits that are either scheduled or unannounced to assess Code of Conduct compliance. By the end of 2023, the brand will have completed worker sentiment surveys and operationalized a grievance mechanism for Tier 1 workers in the supply chain.
