caring for tencel®

this fabric is quite easy to take care of - just make sure you wash it gently. not warmer than 30 degrees is just right. important: the fabric can shrink up to 5% in the first wash. please turn down the spin cycle on your machine. the fabric can leave streaks when it rubs against itself too much.  you can either use a wash bag or wash it by hand. the best thing about it - you can hang to dry and you won't have any wrinkles! 

what is tencel®?

tencel® is a soft fabric that feels softer than silk and smoother than cotton. it is made by the company Lenzing and often called lyocell or modal. it is produced in environmentally friendly processes from wood.

why love tencel®?

moisture is absorbed very well and transported to the surface - which is why the fabric dries super fast. is is also super soft so you'll forget you're wearing anything! 

tencel® production

the production process is very sustainable - it is a closed loop for the used solvent and water. tencel is made by dissolving wood pulp and using a special drying process. before drying, the wood chips are mixed with a solvent to produce a wet mixture which is then pushed through tiny holes. the little spaghettis that come out are like threads, chemically treated and then spun into yarn and woven into cloth.

made in portugal near porto also in a family owned factory that has several certifications to ensure all our high working standards are met.

pura, spanish for "pure", is a brand that stands for pure materials and a clean conscience. this brand philosophy threads through every step of the production process. all pieces are designed in switzerland and then fairly handcrafted in italy, using high-end, recycled, or natural textiles. their environmental impact is kept low by collaborating with a manufacturer that only works with renewable energies, reuses a portion of its water consumption, and reuses 95% of its production waste. the makeup of the recycled fabrics is 50% pre- and 50% post-consumer waste. last but not least there is no air travel included in the whole production line.
pura's pieces are meant to be a contribution to a more sustainable future for the fashion industry and a compliment to the beauty of every woman.
