This will surprise you:
All the fabric available in the world can be broadly classified under two heads – natural fabrics and synthetic fabrics. It does not matter whether you are considering a dress, a bed sheet, a rug or any other kind of cloth or furnishing.
The basic difference between natural and synthetic fabrics is that natural fabrics are obtained naturally through either plants or animals while synthetic fabrics are completely man-made.
The bottom line here is that the natural fibers also prove to be a better investment because they tend to last much longer without getting worn out. Synthetic fibers are cheaper but most of those fabrics are not durable and do not give you good value for your money.
Facts and figures: In 2016,45 million households produced cotton, 6 million produced jute and other similar fibers, around 5 million produced wool, while 1 million produced coir and other natural fibers such as Silk, Sisal, Hemp and others?
