British fashion house Burberry has launched a scarf made from an innovative new material: Brewed Protein fiber, developed by Japanese biotechnology company Spiber.
Burberry shared in a statement that it is the first luxury brand to launch new products using ‘brewed protein’; a new lab-grown fiber produced by fermentation of plant-based, renewable ingredients.
The company adds that it will use this new fiber in soft accessories, starting with a scarf featuring the B shield, a motif inspired by the equestrian knight design with twisted fringes.
Woven in Italy, the scarf is inspired by Burberry’s heritage and contains 62 percent wool, 8 percent cashmere and 30 percent Brewed Protein fibers.
