REGENERATED CELLULOSE FIBERS: TENCEL™ LYOCELL, MODAL & LENZING™ ECOVERO™
TENCEL™ Lyocell, TENCEL™ Modal, and LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose are cellulose fibers made from wood by Lenzing AG. According to Lenzing, the wood comes from certified sources, including FSC® or PEFC™. In the case of TENCEL™ Lyocell, the solvent used in the production process is largely recovered. The fibers are soft and moisture-regulating – ideal for tops, shirts, and flowing essentials.
GOOD TO KNOW
- Cellulose fiber from wood
- Soft, smooth, and moisture-regulating
- Exact composition for the respective item
ORGANIC COTTON
Organic cotton comes from certified organic farming in accordance with the underlying standard. Depending on the model, our own-brand organic cotton items are sewn in Bangladesh, India, or Turkey. Whether an item is additionally GOTS-certified and which scope applies can be found directly on the respective product page.
GOOD TO KNOW
- No genetically modified seeds
- No chemical-synthetic pesticides and fertilizers
- Soft and breathable
VISCOSE from BAMBOO
For textiles, cellulose is extracted from the bamboo stalk and – similar to wood fibers – processed into viscose. The result is fabric with a cooling feel, high breathability, and a smooth drape – ideal for T-shirts, underwear, and active essentials. The exact composition is stated for each individual item.
GOOD TO KNOW
- Viscose from bamboo
- Cool, smooth feel
- Precise composition on the respective item
LINEN & HEMP Flax & Hemp
Linen (flax) and hemp are among the oldest textile fibers in the world. The fibers are extracted from the stems and are largely processed mechanically. The result: breathable, robust fabrics that become softer with every wear.
GOOD TO KNOW
- Fibers from the stalks of flax and hemp
- Breathable and robust
- Becomes softer with every wear
RECYCLED rPET & recycled fibers
For recycled polyester (rPET), PET is cleaned, dried, shredded into flakes, melted, and spun into new yarn through spinnerets. Subsequent texturing provides volume and handle. The recycled content varies by model and is indicated on each respective item. For GRS-certified products, this content is additionally verified by the standard.
GOOD TO KNOW
- Yarn made from recycled PET or textile waste
- Recycled content varies by model
- See individual product details
