KD New York Sustainability Actions

Developed Vegetable Cashmere®

Through KD Knit, we’ve developed Vegetable Cashmere®, a next-generation, plant-based fiber made from soy protein isolate - a byproduct of the food industry. It embodies the softness, resilience, and refinement that define modern luxury, with a foundation in science and sustainability.

Completed testing and LCA

Our team has invested years in textile testing, third-party analysis, and a full comparative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to prepare this innovation for commercial adoption. Every attribute of Vegetable Cashmere® - from performance to environmental impact - is substantiated through data and real-world application.

Linked sustainability and innovation

KD New York now serves as the proof of concept for what’s possible when elegance meets conscience, demonstrating that sustainability can be engineered into the very fiber of design.
