We carefully select each fabric that we use by considering quality, texture, ‘hand-feel’ and of course how the fabric treats your skin. Here is a list of the fabrics that we currently use and why we have chosen them.

Tencel
Fabric Composition: 100% Tencel
Tencel is made from eucalyptus from PEFC certified forests. Eucalyptus trees grow quickly without the use of pesticides, fertilizers or irrigation.
Why we choose Tencel: Tencel is a natural fibre that’s made from wood pulp, most commonly from eucalyptus but also beech, birch and spruce trees. Eucalyptus trees grow quickly without the use of pesticides, fertilizers or irrigation. One of the key benefits of Tencel is it’s high quality feel and supreme comfort on skin. Due to the fine fibres that are produced, Tencel can be incredibly soft and comfortable to wear and is twice as soft as cotton.
Caring for your Tencel Garments: Low temperature wash of 30°C. Gentle machine wash. Do not use bleach or softeners. Tencel is already soft, and it could impede all positive attributes including breathability and moisture absorbency. Do not tumble dry & opt for hang-drying. To help with wrinkles it is recommended to steam them using a gentle steamer.
