100% Italian Wool Felt Lining 

All of our fabric is 100% virgin Italian wool fibers and is manufactured using traditional wet processing techniques using the finest carbonized wool’s and eco-friendly dyes.

Wool actually grows on sheep as hair and comes back very quickly. Also, sheep aren’t intensely reared since the wool comes off quite easily.  What’s more, 100% designer wool has additional beneficial properties which include:

 

To expand upon the benefits of wool fibers, you can read in detail below why we chose to incorporate wool into the inner lining of each Kangaberry:

• Anti-Allergenic – Naturally, anti-allergenic, wool doesn’t collect static which attracts dusty  & dirt. So those with allergies to house mites will never have to worry about their cell phone case  collecting dirt and thus bacteria.
• Breathable – Wool is a breathable fiber that self-regulates to the surrounding environment/ ones individual body temperature.  How is this important? Well, if you have kept your phone on for hours it can sometimes get overheated.Wools natural fibers will actually draw in more air in this scenario, removing excess heat & moisture from the body and phone; keeping your cellular device at the perfect temperature at all times. On the contrary, in the winter,  the case will act more as an insulator and keep you warm if in your pocket -protecting the battery from the cold winter weather.
• Odor Repelling Properties – We put our phones in many places and sometimes they get dirty or placed in smelly places. Fortunately, with wool’s unique fibrous structure, it won’t allow for the build up of body odors so your Kangaberry will have a lifetime of several years.
• Water – Resistant – Wool repels moisture vapor though its fibers; making it resistant mould and mildew.
• Sustainable – Sheap are not intensely reared. In fact, wool actually grows as hair on goats, sheep and rabbits. At the end of their life the wool is actually biodegraded into the soil, releasing important nutrients.
• Easy to Clean – Inner wool lining won’t build up dirt or bacteria since natural wool fibers don’t collect static which attracts dust and dirt.
• Flame Retardant – Wool is the only fiber that naturally resists flaming. Unlike many artificial fibers which melt and stick to the skin when on fire, wool usually smolders or chars instead of bursting into flame. Although wool will burn under intense fire, it normally self-extinguishes when the flame source is removed. For safety reasons, many airlines use wool or wool blends for the upholstery fabric on their seats. Wool is favored by the U.S. military.

Furthermore, at the end of the phone’s life cycle, the wool can actually be biodegraded into the soil, releasing important nutrients.
