96% tencel / 4% elastane

loose fit. model on beige background is 1.75m tall and wears size S.

tencel items can shrink up to 4% by the first wash!

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.

1. design

Our founders Anna and Jula still do all of the design work themselves. They are mastering that challenge, despite living in two different countries. Luckily they're pros at long-distance teamwork.

So the design process is split between Hamburg and Dubai.

2. raw material

TENCEL™ Lyocell is one of our favorite fibers, provided by the austrian Lenzing AG. This special kind of Lyocell is based on sustainably grown wood using a unique closed loop system which recovers and reuses the solvents used, minimizing the environmental impact of production.

3. yarn production

No matter which fibers we are talking about, they have to be spun into a yarn for further production steps.

The yarn production takes place in Barcelos, Portugal.

4. fabric production

The next step of our Supply Chain is to weave the yarn into a fabric.
The fabric production is located in Braga, Portugal.

5. manufacturing

That's where all the magic happens!
Our manufacturers receive the patterns, fabrics, and other components like buttons or zippers and make them into a garment.

This piece is made in Braga, Portugal.

6. distribution

As some of you may remember, we used to do the shipping and warehouse management in our Headquarter in Hamburg by ourselves - yes, that was a lot of work!

Since 2020 we are working with our amazing logistics partner Livipur, which is located in Bad Homburg, Germany.
