Meet Fall: LAUDE the Label in Butter + Chocolate

Our newest pieces from LAUDE the Label have arrived for fall, bringing together two of the season’s most beautiful shades—soft Butter and rich Chocolate Brown—with relaxed silhouettes designed to be worn together or mixed into an everyday wardrobe.

Several of the pieces are made from Bemberg™ moss crepe, a beautifully fluid fabric that may already be familiar to HOSTcraft customers. We previously carried it in a LAUDE dress that became a customer favorite, and we’re excited to welcome the fabric back this fall in a larger collection of easy, versatile pieces.

So what exactly is Bemberg™ moss crepe, and what makes it special?

What is Bemberg™ moss crepe?

Bemberg™ is the brand name for cupro produced by Asahi Kasei in Japan. It begins with cotton linter—the tiny fibers surrounding cotton seeds that are a byproduct of cottonseed-oil production. Those fibers are transformed into a regenerated cellulose fiber that is exceptionally smooth, breathable and fluid.

Asahi Kasei also uses a closed-loop manufacturing process, and Bemberg™ is biodegradable and compostable.

Moss crepe describes the character of the finished fabric. Rather than being slick or shiny, it has a subtle texture and beautiful drape. In LAUDE the Label’s fall pieces, that gives the clothing movement and softness while still feeling polished.

Butter + Chocolate

For HOSTcraft, we selected LAUDE the Label’s Bemberg™ moss crepe pieces in Butter and Chocolate Brown.

Butter is warm and creamy rather than stark, while Chocolate brings depth without the heaviness of black. Worn together, the colors feel especially good for early fall in New Mexico—seasonal, but still light enough for warm September and October days.

The collection includes the Everything Shirt, Bias Maxi Skirt and Easy Pant, making it possible to wear Butter or Chocolate head-to-toe, mix the two shades together, or pair individual pieces with clothing already in your wardrobe.

Bemberg™ takes dye particularly well, which helps give these colors their depth and richness.
