CAMIRA’s OCEANIC

Mirfield, UK

2020

This Spring 2020, Camira is launching their first fabric to contain SEAQUAL® YARN. In a pledge to clean both the earth and the ocean, Oceanic is a fabric born from their collaboration with SEAQUAL INITIATIVE and designed to combat marine plastic pollution.

Oceanic is a fabric born of SEAQUAL INITIATIVE to achieve a waste free environment. Woven from plastic debris found in our seas and on our beaches and from post-consumer plastic bottles destined for landfill, it’s one small drop in the mission to clean both the earth and its ocean. A recycled polyester with a purpose, Oceanic is a strikingly contemporary fabric with an intricate twill weave.

Woven using SEAQUAL® YARN, for every 2kgs (4 meters) of Oceanic fabric sold, 1kg of waste is removed from the ocean. Taking its strength from the raw material from which it was originally created, Oceanic is a highly durable textile, tough enough for a life not only on the seas but also on the seats it furnishes. Blending a soft fluidity with a high level of performance, it is ideal for inclusion in a wide range of modern interiors.

Delicately dyed using cationic yarn, this multi-tonal textile combines and contrasts a light warp with a deeply saturated weft. With an intricate twill weave, this visual detail creates a subtle pattern – enhancing both the considered color and careful construction of the fabric. With a refined color selection of 16 shades, Oceanic combines muted, neutral hues with soft pastels and deep bolds to provide a versatile palette that echoes the shades visible on nature’s shoreline, as well as introducing a number of vibrant, trend-led tones.
