Vietnam’s home textiles industry is thriving and looks bright for the future, thanks to strategic trade agreements, global demand & investments in technology & sustainability. Did you know? * Vietnam is home to 54 ethnic groups, each with their own distinctive textile traditions. * Contemporary designers are fusing traditional textiles into modern decor & fashion, keeping age-old techniques alive. * Vietnam has a unique practice of creating lacquered textiles, enhancing durability & adding a glossy finish. * Many textiles are dyed using traditional methods involving natural materials. This sustainable practice not only produces vibrant colours, but connects products to their environment. * Vietnam is one of the world’s leading silk producers, with one village (Van Phuc) crafting fine silk for over a thousand years, once used for royal robes. From bedding to towels, curtains to rugs, Vietnamese home textiles are making their way around the world, due to quality craftsmanship coupled with competitive prices. Are you sourcing from Vietnam yet? p.s.

When we think of an `investment', usually money, property, stocks and bonds spring to mind. But what about what's in our home or what we wear? Putting your hard-earned money towards a new, modern, meaningful heirloom aimed to last generations is a unique type of investment that goes beyond the material. Artisanal textile homeware, accessories and gifts are pieces that have a story attached to them simply through their design. These deeply personal stories are then treasured, told and passed on to colleagues, friends or family, and then from one-generation to another. For example, we weave stories about the beautiful ancient cultures of Crete (Greece) and Brazil into our designs, creating a kind of a cultural sustainability. These pieces are also made in an eco-friendly way, in Australia and as they are high-quality, made to last, ticking off the environmental sustainability box. And employing local talent and working with local businesses to produce these custom pieces also supports and nurtures creative sustainability. Investing in a new well-made (not to be confused with expensive) timeless, long-lasting, high-quality home decor piece or fashion accessory, will not only stand the test of time, but create a special item - a modern heirloom - for you or those you cherish, for many years to come. And finally, choosing non-disposable, one-of-a-kind and thoughtful pieces, knowing you chose so well, so wisely and so meaningfully, is an investment, most importantly, in YOU!

Home textiles have come a long way over the centuries, evolving from simple, functional fabrics to beautiful, intricate pieces that enhance the look and feel of our living spaces.    At Synergy Lifestyles Pvt Ltd, we’ve witnessed this evolution firsthand and played an active role in bridging the gap between traditional #craftsmanship and modern #design.   Historically, home textiles were created using handloom weaving, embroidery, and dyeing techniques that had been passed down for generations. These traditional methods not only provided practicality but also told a story of the #culture and #region from which they came. In India, we saw textile traditions like khadi weaving, block printing, and embroidery take center stage, with artisans creating unique patterns and designs by hand.   At Synergy Lifestyles Pvt Ltd, we embrace these age-old techniques, but we also recognize the need to evolve with the times. While we continue to use traditional techniques, we have adapted them to meet modern design sensibilities and functional needs.    By modernizing these techniques, we’re able to create textiles that offer both beauty and practicality for contemporary living spaces. Our modernized approach incorporates fresh designs, innovative weaving techniques, and eco-friendly practices, all while respecting the tradition behind them.   Synergy’s contribution to the evolution of home textiles lies in our ability to maintain a balance between preserving traditional craftsmanship and embracing new design trends. We continue to support artisans and celebrate their #skills while pushing the boundaries to bring forth contemporary, high-quality products.   We believe that preserving tradition while innovating is key to creating home textiles that not only stand the test of time but also keep up with the evolving tastes and needs of today’s world.    We are proud to be a part of this ongoing evolution, where #heritage and #modernity come together to enhance every home. #evolution #textile #synergylifestyle #synergy

"Natural leather or faux leather for furniture?" This question arises because durability, comfort, and the environment should always be considered, given the climate urgencies and environmental advocacy. Leather is a material practically timeless, present from the palaces of ancient nobility to the bold houses designed by modern architecture. It is a material culturally and historically produced from another human activity – the breeding of cattle for meat and milk – through natural techniques of waste preparation and tanning. These are actions that humanity has been executing for millennia and that today, with responsible and advanced production, result in a material with durability, comfort, beauty, nobility, and that can continue to be reused or recycled. So, what are furniture made of natural leather and imitation leather like? On one hand, we have furniture made of natural leather. They are durable, lasting for years and years, easy to maintain, valuable, beautiful, and noble. Moreover, they are comfortable due to their flexibility and natural elasticity. On the other hand, we have furniture made of faux leather, apparently beautiful but less durable, prone to forming bubbles and cracking in a short time, less comfortable due to rigidity and lack of flexibility. Generally, they will need to be reupholstered before their useful life ends, with the old synthetic covering ending up in landfills for hundreds of years. Durli Leathers offers the furniture market high-quality natural leathers produced within rigorous ESG criteria and with responsible sourcing, designed to meet the needs of each customer: ✅ Wet Blue Full Substance, with high-quality specifications and grades; ✅ Splitted Wet Blue Leather - Whole and Half; ✅ Semi-finished leather with high-quality specifications and grades, from various sources and with standard dyeing for color homogeneity.

The global market for customized furniture was valued at USD 31.50 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow to USD 87.70 billion by 2032.
