\"TidalKeeping our sights on sustainable fashion<\/a> offerings is key these days and Tidal Vision<\/a> is on-board, utilizing the sea<\/a>\u00a0as its source.\u00a0 Tidal Vision<\/a>‘s mission is rooted in awareness of the treatment of our water sources and the safeguarding of those\u00a0sources through education and innovation. \u00a0So, for your purposes, their\u00a0\u00a0“innovation” refers to some fancy new fashion options in their crab shell fiber-spun clothing and fish skin leather.<\/p>\n

Tidal Vision’s origin is in simple awareness as well. \u00a0To challenge the almost 40% fishery industry byproduct waste, they opted to find a way to use that waste to give our fashion senses a little oomph. \u00a0Because Tidal Vision’s awareness is far-reaching, they’re “inspired by the economies, families,\u00a0cultures, and ecosystems that rely on the sustainable management and conservation of the Oceans’ resources.” \u00a0They also understand that their movement adds value to those fisheries who make it their goal to reduce waste and wasteful practices.<\/p>\n

So, here’s a run-down on the goods:<\/p>\n

Crab Shell Fiber Clothing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crab and shrimp shells contain a fiber called Chitosan which can be spun into a cotton-like fabric and used to make clothing. \u00a0Chitosan has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties\u00a0which help discourage bacteria growth and can produce (you guessed it) an anti-odor\u00a0functionality. \u00a0Chitosan also has naturally high moisture absorption, giving it a bit of a “wicking” capability. \u00a0All crab shells are sourced from\u00a03rd party certified sustainable fisheries, in particular from the Alaskan Opillio Crab industry in the Bering Sea.<\/p>\n

Fish Skin Leather<\/b><\/p>\n

Fish skin leather is sourced\u00a0from\u00a03rd party certified sustainable Wild Alaskan Salmon whose natural oils have been replaced with those traditionally used in vegetable-tanned leather (although, with a different ratio, of course). \u00a0The leather is strong and textured where the scales have been removed.<\/p>\n

\"Tidal<\/p>\n

Obviously\u00a0there’s a continuous possibility for a model\u00a0whose mission addresses the idea of innovation, but also of a hopeful longer-lasting reward for those fisheries who keep sustainability in mind. \u00a0Tidal Vision hopes to launch a Kickstarter campaign in the near future, with commercially available products to follow soon after.<\/p>\n
