How can something so destructive and raw, become something so luxurious and beautiful?
Ethical manufacturers such as ourselves, are challenged to find a balance between providing consumers with high-quality textiles and doing so in an environmentally sustainable way.
We took our passion for textiles and turned it into a brand that is committed to sustainability and supporting local industry.
Through this passion and vast industry expertise, we have completely revolutionised the textile industry in South Africa, by becoming the first manufacturer in the country to convert rPET yarn into homeware textiles.
Our House of Canvex textiles are not only beautifully raw, but they convey a sense of luxurious modernity. Through countless hours of R&D and perfecting our weave, we have developed a real sustainable solution that provides the durability of virgin polyester with the luxurious feel of
high-end textiles.
We offer consumers with on-demand, industry leading digital printing technology with smaller MOQs and quicker turnaround times; with fully scalable manufacturing processes to fulfil any size order.
Why rPET?
The Global Plastic Pandemic
200 million tons of plastic is produced every year. Half of all these plastics produced are single use, with 10% of this ending up in our oceans and water sources.
It’s no secret, single-use plastics (mainly plastic shopping bags and PET bottles) have had an incredibly devastating effect on our environment. 100 million marine animals dies every year due to plastic pollution. However, the damage can be reversed.
