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