LEAF Co., Ltd., based in Kyoto, Japan, recently introduced a new line of fabric products made from animal hair vacuum yarns for the autumn/winter 2011 season. This innovative material has already attracted significant interest, with the company receiving a continuous stream of OEM orders. The unique feature of this vacuum yarn lies in its advanced processing techniques, including spinning, weaving, and knitting, which create a hollow structure filled with air. As a result, fabrics made from this yarn offer superior insulation, a more refined texture, and garments that are up to 30% lighter than those made from traditional materials. In previous seasons, LEAF focused mainly on cashmere-based coats and jackets. For example, their long coat weighs approximately 600 grams, while a regular coat is around 400 grams. These lightweight yet soft garments have quickly gained popularity among high-end fashion brands, making cashmere hollow yarn a preferred raw material. The company has successfully sold over 2,000 units per order for these premium clients. This year, LEAF expanded its product range beyond cashmere by introducing wool, angora, alpaca, velvet, and cotton yarns. In addition to pure animal hair products, the company also offers blended yarns combining angora with synthetic fibers, along with 34- and 38-count dyed yarns. The new collection also includes bedding items, marking a fresh direction for the brand. Among the highlights is a newly developed 200-thread-count cashmere fabric available in both solid and printed designs. Today, LEAF's business extends beyond just producing fine cashmere yarns for knitting and scarves. The company now also offers waterproof fabric solutions tailored to customer needs. With an improved supply chain and growing demand, LEAF is steadily increasing its market presence both in Japan and internationally. Their commitment to innovation and quality continues to set them apart in the textile industry.
