CRAiLAR is a patented enzymatic process that softens bast fibres from flax and hemp, transforming them into fibres with qualities similar to cotton. This treatment removes the natural stiffness of flax and hemp without chemical regeneration, resulting in a soft, strong, and breathable fibre suitable for textiles.
Products made from CRAiLAR fibres offer performance comparable to, and in some cases exceeding, cotton, while avoiding the environmental drawbacks associated with conventional cotton farming. By creating fibres that are competitive not only with cotton but also with synthetics, CRAiLAR processing presents a responsible alternative in the natural fibre market.
Material sourcing and treatments often carry hidden social, environmental, and animal welfare risks. We help brands understand what they're using, and what it means.
Materials and treatments are at the heart of every product. Bergstrand helps brands navigate these choices through clear guidance, structured tools, and practical workshops that embed sustainability into design and development.
