Why We Say No to Polyester (And What We Choose Instead)

Why We Say No to Polyester (And What We Choose Instead)

At UNIKSPACE, we believe that fashion should not only make you look good but also feel good—both for you and the planet.That’s why we’ve made a conscious decision to avoid polyester in our collections. Instead, we embrace the timeless appeal of natural fabrics.

Here’s why:

The Difference You Can Feel

Polyester traps heat and holds onto moisture

Made from plastic, polyester doesn’t breathe — leaving you feeling hot, sticky, and uncomfortable.

Natural fabrics let your skin breathe
Lightweight and breathable, natural fibers like cotton, linen and silk feel soft against the skin and help regulate your body temperature throughout the day.

Gentle on you, naturally
Natural fabrics are hypoallergenic, non-toxic and ideal for sensitive skin. They move with you, not against you.


Better for You. Better for the Earth
 
Virgin polyester is made from fossil fuels
It’s energy-intensive to produce, sheds microplastics with every wash, and takes hundreds of years to break down.
 
Natural fabrics are biodegradable and renewable
They come from the earth — and return to it — without harming the environment.
 
Choosing natural is a conscious step toward sustainability
Less energy, less waste, and no compromise on quality or longevity.
