This was 2018 at Love Home Fabrics

Celebrating 65 years

2018 was extra special for Ter Molst. The company, established in 1953, celebrated its 65th birthday. Despite this impressive age, Ter Molst keeps innovating and modernising its plants and collections.

Vivalife: performance fabrics that make stains part of the party

The Vivalife performance fabrics were launched during Heimtex, in January. Using a revolutionary Belgian technology, Ter Molst created a specially blended, upcycled yarn to produce durable and recyclable fabrics.

Easy 2 Clean performance fabrics

The Easy 2 Clean collection by Symphony Mills was launched during Proposte (Italy) in May. The brand-new range of performance fabrics is produced without any PFC chemicals and are easily cleanable with just water.

Prisma: colourful headboard fabrics

Prisma is Monks’ newest collection of upholstery-style fabrics for beds. The colourful headboard and border fabrics have an excellent colour fastness and are available in over 50 vibrant colours. Perfect to bring life to your bedroom!

Sleep: sleep-inducing mattress fabrics

Valerian and chamomile are sleep-inducing herbs that have proven their effectiveness for over 2000 years. As a company that highly values a good night’s rest, Monks introduced Sleep, a treatment that gives its mattress fabrics calming, relaxing and sleep-inducing qualities.

ZEO: mattress fabrics that get rid of malodours

Keeping a mattress fresh and clean isn’t always easy. With ZEO, Monks now tackles this problem. The special treatment uses lava minerals, so-called zeolites, to capture the malodours in every molecule in order to eliminate them. ZEO self-regenerates and is completely nonbiocidal.

Towel 2: towels made from old jeans

The low-impact Towel 2 is a post-consumer product. By shredding old textiles such as denim and shirts and turning it into new yarns, Clarysse skips an entire step in the production process. Together with the dyeing process, which is made redundant thanks to the inherent colour of the old textiles, the company saves 1.4 million litres water and 410 kilograms of CO² for every 1,000 Towel2 towels it produces. Twelve points for eco-friendliness go to… Clarysse!

Pecorelle

Pecorelle, Italian for ‘little sheep’, revolves completely around wool. Pieters Textiel’s latest collection uses the inherent characteristics of wool, such as thermoregulation, fire retardancy and easy cleanability, for a wide range of bedding fabrics.
