Harrogate, England -- (SBWire) -- 06/17/2015 --Researchers at Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda (Gujarat) recently extracted a fibre from the pseudo stem of a banana plant and suggested it could be used as an eco-friendly substitute to certain mainstream fabrics. Bamboo is the most popular eco choice for fabrics at present, and were such a development to be made sustainable on a larger scale, it could revolutionise the fashion and textile industry.

The fashion and textile industry is currently one of the central pillars of the global economy raking in billions of dollars a year in profits and impacting culture and music in indefinable ways. With innovative developments being made regularly in the area of sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives in fabric, it appears to be imperative for businesses dealing or depending on textile material to remain at the forefront of this growing movement.It is also seen as quite crucial for fashion-conscious consumers eager to be at the forefront of aesthetic trends to be aware of the increasingly diverse range of options before them, and is expected to be of increasing interest in the UK.

The Remnant House are a family-run business based in Harrogate in North Yorkshire and have been dealing in fabric and haberdashery for over half a century. They were excited about the growing movement in eco-fashion and had anticipated increasing awareness and selectiveness in fabric choices.

A spokesperson for the company said, 'We've seen this coming for a while. We've been in the business for over 50 years and have noticed the change in our customer's preferences. Over the last decade especially, we've noticed customers more eager to know the source of their fabric choices. They have been interested in exploring their options and pinpointing ones they think would fit in better with their lifestyle choices. We source fabric from all over the world to ensure that our customers have the greatest possible selection to choose from. We aim to do this at an affordable price, without compromising on quality. It's been working so far. We think it will continue to serve us well.'
