Olyck Midi Dress

Product Details

The Olyck Midi Dress is a simple spring staple, elevated by sophisticated details. The batwing sleeves of the Olyck Midi Dress are tacked in four places to create a statement cuff, finishing just above the elbow. A self-fabric covered belt is finished with metal grommets and a self-fabric covered buckle, allowing the wearer to pull in the Olyck Midi Dress for a defined waistline. The Olyck Midi Dress can be layered with warm base layers and boots through winter, or paired back with a simple sandal for the warmer months. Offered in the limited seasonal colourway, Vine Green.

• Crafted from a TENCEL™ and an ECOVERO™ blend, two ELK environmentally-preferred fibres.
• Optional matching waist belt 
• Side seam pockets.
• Midi length with side splits for added movement. 
• Manufactured at a factory using 100% renewable energy.

Material

63% Carbon Zero TENCEL™ 37% ECOVERO™ Viscose

TENCEL™ Lyocell Carbon Zero* and LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose are man-made cellulosic fibres (MMCF), derived from wood pulp. They create a silk-like feel, fluid drape and comfortable breathability.

TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres follow an environmentally responsible, closed loop production process, which transforms wood pulp into cellulosic fibres using high resource efficiency and low environmental impact compared to conventional methods of production. The spinning process recycles process water and reuses the solvent at a recovery rate of more than 99%. 

LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibres are recognised by CanopyStyle and EU Ecolabel certification as meeting high standards for environmental practice. This includes a low risk of sourcing raw materials from ancient or endangered forests, and the recycling of water and chemicals in the processing stages. According to Higg's life cycle impact assessment data, LENZING™ ECOVERO™ branded viscose fibres generate up to 50% lower emissions and water impact compared to generic viscose.

*We have not highlighted the carbon neutral attribute of this fibre as ELK has transitioned away from offsetting it's emissions and instead focuses on investing in projects that will deliver more  direct and positive environmental impact for the business. Our choice for this fibre is based on the attributes highlighted in the description and not on carbon neutrality.
