🌿 What Is Tencel?
Tencel (also known as Lyocell) is a modern, plant-based fibre made from sustainably sourced wood pulp, often eucalyptus. Known for its silky softness, moisture-wicking properties, and eco-friendly production, it’s fast becoming a favourite in sustainable fashion.
Benefits of Tencel:
-
Luxuriously soft with a smooth, skin-friendly touch.
-
Highly breathable and moisture-absorbing — ideal for warm weather.
-
Naturally resists odour and bacteria.
-
Drapes beautifully for elegant silhouettes.
-
Produced in a closed-loop process using minimal water and energy.
Tencel is the perfect choice for a lightweight summer dress, bringing both comfort and sophistication to your wardrobe.
