Seriously. Is this for real? My son brought home the Time For Kids magazine from school and it had an article about a German company that is making clothing out of milk. Yes, milk. It took me a few minutes to stop staring at the article in disbelief. Geesh, now something else to worry about. As if it's not hard enough to read ingredients on every food packaging label and soaps and lotions. Now we will need to look for food ingredients in the clothing we purchase.
The cost of the clothing ranges from $200 to $270. Probably not something I will be rushing out to buy.
Kudos to the biologist/fashion designer for coming up with a new invention. This statement on the company's website is a little ironic, however: "More and more people suffer from sensitive skin. Mainly from the increase in allergies, the demand for natural fabrics mount."
Guess they don't have milk allergies in Germany?
Fabric made from milk is not new, Hitler's scientists first invented milk fibre in an atempt to make of for wool shortages, but gave up on the material. They also make yarn from milk fibre. More household and industrial products made from milk http://www.avoidingmilkprotein.com/withmilk.htm
