This fabric from Brentano is an example of a fabric milled while using the least amount of water. There are many fabric and carpeting manufacturers who have a commitment limiting the use of water in their manufacturing process to a minimum. LiLu Interiors designers keep up on all the new information about manufacturers we use so you don't have too.
