  • Environmentally friendly production and transformation processes
  • Improving working conditions
  • Promotion of the use of organic fibers

Tencel trend, the healthier and more ecological fiber

Tencel is a material made from eucalyptus fibers. It's about a artificial material, and not synthetic. This means that its raw material is not petroleum but cellulose from natural sources (wood, leaves, plant stems, eucalyptus).
Fiber is not harvested as is, but processed in cellulose pulp, then in filaments and finally in son.
Tencel is therefore obtained from bamboo or eucalyptus, without destroying the plant at the root. It is a material less harmful to the environment, more natural, but also more expensive … Its main advantage is to be very absorbent, and without impact on health.

⭐Advantages of Tencel:

  • Breathable, moisture wicking level higher than cotton
  • Material sweet with a silky finish
  • Resistant and very comfortable
  • Good fixing of colors and pigments
  • Biodegradable, unlike plastics
  • Absorption capacity superior to cotton, guaranteed zero leakage
  • Environmentally friendly manufacturing process (non-toxic NMMO solvent)
  • Cellulose extracted from wood from sustainable forests (PEFC certification and FSC label)

Lightness and softness, all about merino wool

Merino is a fiber made from the wool of Merino sheep, known for its exceptional finesse and softness.

⭐Advantages of merino wool:

  • Ensures softness, flexibility and comfort
  • Regulates temperature without keeping humidity
  • Anti-odor and anti-bacterial
  • Dries quickly without deformation, does not scratch
  • Durable and biodegradable
  • Easily mixes with other fibers

Merino sheep provide the finest wool available, with absorbency of 35% of its weight in moisture.
Merino sheep produce a new fleece each year, taken with respect for their well-being. This wool is one material at a time healthy and ecological which has its place in the fabrics we choose to wear.
