Why does the Nuvia yarn contain nylon instead of silk?
Sustainability is a core value for Föa. But even more important to us is ethical treatment of animals. Most silk on the market is produced in a way that involves killing silkworms — something we cannot support.
Ethically sourced silk exists, but it accounts for only a tiny fraction of global production and isn’t currently viable for us. That’s why we’ve chosen nylon — a synthetic fibre that’s recyclable and free from animal exploitation.
To us, what a material is matters — but how it's made matters even more.
I have another question — how can I contact you?
That's easy! Just email us at ahoj@foacreatives.com or message us on Instagram.
