TENCEL™

Tencel™, a sustainable fibre derived from the pulp of eucalyptus trees, stands at the forefront of eco-friendly textiles.

Through an environmentally friendly process, wood pulp is dissolved, spun into fibres, and woven into fabric.

Tencel™ embodies a blend of comfort, versatility, and sustainability, making it a favoured choice for conscious consumers.

With its silky-smooth texture and drape, Tencel™ offers a luxurious feel akin to natural silk, yet it is more durable and easier to care for. Additionally,

Tencel™ boasts excellent moisture-wicking properties, keeping the skin dry and cool.

Moreover, its production requires significantly less water and energy compared to traditional fibers, aligning with the growing demand for environmentally responsible textiles.

What is TENCEL™?

TENCEL™ is a branded lyocell fibre developed by Lenzing AG, made from sustainably sourced wood pulp — primarily eucalyptus, beech, and spruce. The pulp is dissolved and spun into fibre using a closed-loop process that recaptures and reuses over 99% of the solvent, minimising waste and chemical discharge into the environment.

Why we love it

TENCEL™ produces fabric that is exceptionally soft, smooth, and breathable — often compared to silk in its drape and feel, but significantly more practical and durable. It wicks moisture efficiently, resists odours naturally, and keeps skin comfortable across a wide range of temperatures.

Crucially, TENCEL™ is certified biodegradable and compostable under industrial and home conditions — making it one of the more responsible choices in fashion at end of life.

Caring for TENCEL™

Machine wash on a delicate or wool cycle at 30°C. Avoid tumble drying where possible — reshape and air dry flat to maintain the drape and prevent shrinkage. TENCEL™ is prone to creasing, so steam or iron on a low setting while slightly damp for best results.

A fibre worth knowing

TENCEL™ sits at the intersection of performance, comfort, and sustainability. It offers the everyday wearability of cotton with a more refined handle — and a production story that is transparent, certified, and genuinely lower impact.
