Pineapple Fiber
Pineapple fiber, also known as piña, is a natural textile made from the leaves of the pineapple plant. This fiber is extracted through a process that involves harvesting the leaves, stripping them of their outer layers, and then processing the inner fibers. The result is a strong, lightweight material that is often used in traditional textiles and handicrafts, particularly in the Philippines.
Due to its durability and unique texture, pineapple fiber is increasingly popular in sustainable fashion. It can be woven into fabrics for clothing, accessories, and home decor. Additionally, it is biodegradable, making it an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic fibers.
