The Sustainable Colombian Fiber

Fique is a plant that saves large amounts of water because it stores water inside their large leaves. Fique plants can endure harsh dry seasons with little water needed, making it a fiber that naturally saves water.

Fique is also a chemical-free fiber, meaning it does not need pesticides since it is hardly attacked by pests. There are no common pests that attack these plants and the few pests that do attack them cannot be treated with chemical pesticides. This means fique is grown organically.
