The Algae Undercap
WHY ALGAE?
Because we weren’t interested in only fabric. We were interested in systems biology. In building a hijab layer that starts with a living organism, and ends as a material you’ll forget you’re even wearing.
01. IT STARTED AS A MICROSCOPIC LIFEFORM.
Algae was here before humans. Before trees. Before almost everything. It can double its mass in hours. It creates over half the oxygen in Earth’s atmosphere.
02. IT BREATHES.
Algae-based fabric is naturally porous and thermo-regulating. Which means when your skin’s cooking at 37°C and your scarf is trapping heat like a greenhouse, the undercap doesn’t melt you — it ventilates. It wicks sweat at the source and stays cool without tech.
03. IT’S ALIVE-LEVEL SMART.
Algae evolved to survive harsh UV, extreme humidity, and massive shifts in temperature. So the fabric carries that DNA. It resists bacterial buildup, odors, and overgrowth — no weird smells, even after a long day.
COMPOSITION: Made from algae, bamboo, and elastane. Engineered for breathability, grip, and adaptive stretch.
HOW TO WASH A LIVING TEXTILE: It’s part algae. Part bamboo. Part intelligent design. So treat it like it’s alive, because in a way, it is.
It’s part algae. Part bamboo. Part intelligent design. So treat it like it’s alive — because in a way, it is.
- Wash cold
- No Bleach
- Air Dry Flat
- Let it breathe- just like it was meant to.
This thing started in water. It’ll last longer if it stays close to its roots.

It was engineered to show you what living material looks like when it's turned into gear. So yeah — we left the algae in. And yeah — you can see it.
This is what happens when you stop designing clothes. and start building evidence of TECHNOLOGY.
