3. Ramie
What is Ramie and its history?
Ramie, also called “China grass,” is an ancient fiber cultivated in Asia since prehistoric times. It was used in ancient Egypt and became known in Europe during the Middle Ages. Exported to the West in the 18th century, it gained prominence in the 1930s for commercial production.
🌿 Ramie – The Fabric Revolution
Once known mainly as the fabric of shrouds, Ramie has transformed from its ancient roots into one of today’s most versatile and sought-after natural fabrics. For centuries, it appeared only in plain white or muted earth tones, with little variety in prints or patterns because of the tedious, labor-intensive process required to turn Ramie plants into fabric.
Despite the sometime prohibitive cost of ramle apparel, it's one of those things that everyone should have at least one to appreciate it. It's one of those a few fabrics that he can keep you cool even on very hot days and then even when you sweat, a slight breeze cools you down like air conditioning due to its breathability.
Thanks to modern textile innovations, Ramie now rivals silk and satin in beauty and variety. Available in vibrant colors, prints, embroidery, and rich textures, Ramie offers more than style—it’s an investment in your comfort and wardrobe. As one of the strongest and most durable natural fibers, it resists wear and lasts season after season. Combined with its breathable, cooling, and hypoallergenic properties, Ramie clothing never goes out of style and ensures comfort year after year.
