Tencel® lyocell

A natural material

Tencel® from Lenzing Fibres, or lyocell as the generic fibre is called, is a natural material. Tencel® is made from the cellulose of fast-growing trees, among them eucalyptus that is grown in sustainable plantations. The manufacturing process is gentle on the environment and as much as possible is recycled and reused. This is the reason behind Tencel® being awarded with ”The European Award for the Environment” by the EU.
The environmental aspect is of course a strong reason for us to use Tencel® in our clothing. In addition, the fabric is comfortable to wear and has great functional properties.

Functional fibre that drapes well

Tencel® is a functional fabric with many advantages. It is cool to wear and softer against the skin than, for example, cotton. Tencel® transports moisture effectively and can absorb 50 percent more water than cotton. This makes it a perfect choice on hot summer days or when travelling in warm climates.

Pure Tencel® has an almost silky feel and drapes well. The material is also hardwearing and tolerates washing well. In our garments, we often blend Tencel® with other materials, for example wool and organic cotton, to make the most of the positive characteristics of the different fibres.

天然材質

Tencel®是Lenzing Fibres公司所製造的一種纖維，或統稱lyocell纖維，是一種天然材質。Tencel®天絲棉的原料取自快速生長樹木的纖維素，其中以可持續管理林地所種植的尤加利樹為主。製造過程對環境的衝擊非常小，也盡可能回收再生、再利用。基於這個原因，Tencel®天絲棉榮獲歐盟所頒發的「環保歐洲獎」。我們的服飾使用Tencel®天絲棉當然出於強烈的環保意識，除此之外，這種布料的觸感舒適，具有優異的功能性。

絲滑柔順的功能性纖維

Tencel®屬於功能性布料，具有非常多優點。它很涼爽，皮膚觸感比棉柔軟。Tencel®傳遞水分的效率高，可吸收比棉多50%的水分。這種特質使之非常適合炎熱的夏季穿著，或者溫暖地區的旅行穿著。

純Tencel®具有幾乎如絲般的手感和良好的垂褶性。材料也耐磨，耐洗性好。在我們的服裝中，我們經常將Tencel®與其他材料混合，例如羊毛和有機棉，以充分利用不同纖維的特性。
