Tencel™Lyocell comes from fibers made by the Austrian Lenzing. Its exceptional fiber is produced from wood pulp, mainly eucalyptus (FSC sustainably managed forests). Unlike the cultivation of ordinary cotton which requires an intensive irrigation system, Tencel is not very greedy in water. In addition, Tencel produces 10 times more material than ordinary cotton per hectare cultivated.
It is an anti-bacterial, breathable and resistant fabric, comparable to silk. Its refreshing effect makes it particularly pleasant to wear.

Softer, more resistant, silkier than classic cotton, “Supima” labeled cotton is considered the most premium cotton in the world. Highly controlled, its cultivation is only authorized in Texas and California and comes from eco-responsible agriculture.
Pima (name given in homage to the Indians of the same name) is a cotton with extra-long fibers. Supima (for “superior Pima”) represents 1% of Pima production. With fibers 35% longer than average, Supima cotton is a guarantee of rare and exceptional quality.

Organic cotton is a breathable, soft and crease-resistant material. It requires 10 times less water than conventional cotton (source WWF study for C&A). Only natural fertilizers are authorized to improve its cultivation.
Thus, organic cotton is much more respectful of the environment and the health of workers. It is also more durable because its fibers are better preserved and are not damaged by chemical treatments, which is systematic during the production of ordinary cotton.
