Every piece is hand-curated by Toxome and made from cleaner, lower-toxin natural fibers. Browse by fiber to find clothing that is kinder to your skin and the planet.
ramie is a strong, linen-like fiber from a plant in the nettle family. it breathes well, dries fast, and naturally resists mildew, so it is genuinely nice to wear in heat. two things decide whether a piece feels good: how well it was softened, since raw ramie is stiff and can prickle until it is enzyme-softened, and how thoroughly the harsh degumming chemicals were rinsed out. every piece here is scored by toxome for its real fiber content, so you can favor smooth, well-finished ramie.
Ramie is a natural plant fiber, breathable and mildew-resistant, free of the plastics in synthetic fabrics. The catch is finishing: turning the stalk into soft fiber uses strong chemical baths that have to be fully rinsed out. Choose OEKO-TEX Standard 100 ramie. Toxome scores each piece by its fiber content.
Why is some ramie scratchy?
Raw ramie is stiff, and its tiny surface hairs poke the skin, a feeling called prickle. Softening it with enzymes cut that discomfort by nearly half in one study. Trust your hands: smooth ramie was finished well, stiff and scratchy ramie was not.
Is ramie like linen?
Yes. Both are breathable plant fibers that stay cool, dry fast, and wrinkle. Ramie is even stronger than linen and holds its shape well, which is why the two are often blended.
Why does Toxome score clothes by fiber?
Fiber content is what touches the skin. Toxome reads each garment's composition and rates it, so the score reflects what the clothing is made of, not a brand's marketing.
