TENCEL™ deep dive
We think TENCEL™ Lyocell is the holy grail of fibers. Made by the Austrian company Lenzing, TENCEL™ is a semi-synthetic fiber that feels very similar to cotton. It’s part of the Rayon family, which is made from renewable wood materials.

TENCEL™ is manufactured from Eucalyptus trees, which grow fast and thick on low-grade land, using 80% less water than cotton. The production is also done without the use of pesticides or insecticides, unlike its dirty cousin.
