Bacterial cellulose derived textile

Made in Mexico by Polybion

Celium™ is a next-generation material that is crafted from bacteria that feed on fruit waste, naturally transforming it into soft sheets of bacterial cellulose. Once harvested, the sheets are stabilised and refined through a process that gives the material its durability, structure, and texture.
