Summer and comfort
Our summer styles made from Tencel™ bring you the perfect blend of summer and comfort. It gives clothing a silky character, drapes beautifully, and feels exceptionally pleasant on the skin as it is incredibly soft and lightweight. No wonder, it’s our absolute summer bestseller. But do you know how the fiber is made?
The origins of Tencel™
Tencel™ is a so-called man-made fiber that is made from wood, mostly eucalyptus. Unlike natural fibers such as cotton or hemp that are turned into yarn mechanically, eucalyptus wood is turned into a textile fiber using a chemical process. Using chemicals is not a bad thing in general. It highly depends on which chemicals are used and how they are managed.
Production at Lenzing

Using Tencel™ means that we decide on the best option there is for this kind of material on the market today. And for a material that feels smooth and helps to keep you cool and dry on sunny days. Because Tencel™ manages moisture really well.
