      @Sir Vaugh i never focus on brand. But more on quality. Gucci uses top grain which is not as good as full grain. I feel like you are paying more for the brand than the material. I do like italian dress shoes like acemarks they arent too expensive in the 250$ range.

    We used to have that also in the Philippines (in my community) but it disappeared because the ponds where the lotus grows were filled and constructed with buildings. Indeed it is best harvested in monsoon season because it produces more sap and it's more stronger and not in hot season and the sap that it produces is brittle.

  • @GainingDespair

    It looks like burlap, and honestly only strikes me as valued due to rarity, not so much quality. We already have soft fibers, breathable fibers, stretchy fibers, and wrinkle resistant fibers. All of which are dramatically easier to acquire, and use while being cheaper.
    Kinda like making a shirt out of typha fiber (cattail plant) than selling that for $1000 due to rarity, and calling it too "silk" to suggest prestigious value.
    I don't see this taking off just due to it being a scarcity market, pretty hard pressed to imagine we have nothing that can't beat Lotus "silk' in all properties, and characteristics.
