Material

70% Viscose 30% TENCELâ„¢ Lyocell

This fabric has a smooth surface and soft handfeel, with a gentle drape that makes it perfect for layering.

TENCELâ„¢ Lyocell fibres are derived from wood sourced from sustainably managed forests.

TENCELâ„¢ Lyocell fibres have gained a commendable reputation for their environmentally responsible, closed loop production process, which transforms wood pulp into cellulosic fibres with high resource efficiency and low environmental impact. This solvent-spinning process recycles process water and reuses the solvent at a recovery rate of more than 99%.

We are working with not-for-profit organisation Canopy to ensure that all our forest-based fabrics are responsibly sourced from sustainable forestry and preference those with a green shirt ranking according to the most current CanopyStyle Hot Button Report. Our partnership with Canopy includes a commitment to ensure all of our viscose products have not been sourced from ancient and endangered forests. Our traceability systems confirm the viscose fibres in this garment are from green shirt rated producers.

TENCELâ„¢ is a trademark of Lenzing AG.

Care Instructions

  • Hand wash
  • Do not bleach
  • Do not tumble dry
  • Cool iron
  • Dry cleanable
  • Green dry cleaning preferred
  • Cold hand wash using eco-friendly detergents
  • Do not soak, rub, wring or spin dry
  • Drip dry in shade
  • Cool iron on reverse
  • The fabric used for this garment is viscose, made from the natural and renewable cellulose fibres of wood pulp. It has a delicate feel, it is softer than cotton and more springy than silk. Viscose is durable, it breathes well and is lovely to wear. The construction of all viscose fabrics result in unique properties that perform differently to other fabrics and require specific care.
  • We recommend cold hand washing in a mild detergent. Only wash when required to reduce water consumption.
  • Gently pull the garment back into shape and air dry, either flat or hanging, in the shade. After washing, viscose will appear to have shrunk and will have a coarse hand feel. Don’t worry! Once it is dry, use a warm steam iron on the reverse. The fabric will iron out easily and regain its shape, hand feel and fluidity.
  • On the first wash, there may be a small variance in length measurements from 1 to 3cm which our production team take into account in the design.
