Lento Dress

Product Details

The Lento Dress is a printed V-neck style, ideal for laid-back mornings or afternoons on the go. Statement bat-wing sleeves add both shape and the right amount of coverage. Centre seams along the front and back flatter the upper body, while a waist seam defines the silhouette for a polished finish. Made from a silky ECOVERO™ blend, it has a graceful drape and a subtle sheen.

The Lento Dress is offered in the limited-seasonal Tropea Print - an expressive monochrome graphic invoking organic movement and organic terrain. 

The Tropea Print is a yardage print. The placement of the print is unique to each garment.

• Functional angled pockets.
• Below the knee length allows for ultimate styling flexibility.
• Crafted from a silky blend containing ECOVERO™  - an ELK environmentally-preferred fibre and ideal trans seasonal fibre.
• Manufactured at a factory sourcing up to 50% of its electricity from rooftop solar.

Material

62% ECOVERO™ Viscose 38% Viscose Rayon

This smooth, floaty fabric has a matte sheen that gives it the perfect versatility to dress up or down. It has a silk-like feel, fluid drape and comfortable breathability.

LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose is a man-made cellulosic fibre (MMCF), derived from wood pulp. 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.

Through our work with not-for-profit organisation Canopy, we are sourcing more than 95% of our viscose fibres from producers that have a green shirt rating according to the most current CanopyStyle Hot Button Report. This rating is a reflection of Canopy's assessment of the producers' engagement with CanopyStyle audits, their contribution to conservation, innovation initiatives, sourcing policies, transparency and chemical management.

Maker

Manufacturer: Jimmy Fashions (Zhejiang, China)

We have been working with Jimmy Fashions since 2010. They are a smaller, independent supplier with a focus on design and quality, and this is one of our longest standing supplier relationships. With owner Jimmy Shen and his team working closely with our Design and Production departments, this family-owned business has grown with ELK and now supplies much of our woven apparel.  

In early 2024, Jimmy installed rooftop solar panels on his factory, and estimates more than 50% of the factory's electricity to come from this renewable source. The factory also undergoes annual SMETA social compliance audits, which are conducted by a third party and provide transparency into worker wellbeing and wages.
