Materials Matter

We love our environment so go out of our way to source eco-conscious materials and turn them into beautiful, timeless styles with as little harm to the environment as we can possibly do.

We design with nature in mind.

What is 'eco'? the element is referring to the environment and people's relation to it; abstracted from ecology, ecological; attested from 1969. 'Eco' is not harmful to the environment, relating to the ecology ecosystems, the environment, habitat and surroundings.

We only use natural, organic fabrics and environmentally friendly TENCEL tm Lyocell, and a small amount of recycled polyester. Virgin synthetic textiles are fossil-fuel derived, non-biodegradable and non-compostable. They shed microplastics into our waterways, soil and air. We do not use them in any of our products.

TENCEL tm Lyocell from Lenzing AG, Austria comes from sustainably managed European forests, the fibres are fully biodegradable and compostable, thus they can fully revert to nature. These fibres have a luxurious sheen and are naturally soft and breathable, providing the wearer with long-lasting comfort. They are also naturally soft which means laundry softeners are not necessary.

The materials are produced in a unique, environmentally responsible closed-loop process that maximizes resource efficiency with low ecological impact. The solvent-spinning process recycles process water and reuses the solvent at a recovery rate of 99%, minimizing environmental impact.
