WHY YOU SHOULD KNOW & USE THE FABRIC

If you talk about Sustainability, you cannot miss organic fabrics. And when you talk about organic fabrics, you cannot miss Tencel.

But why is this fabric so much talked about? Is it hyped? Or is it really mind-blowing? Hold on! We are here to solve all your doubts. Not just that, we will also share what we think about Tencel.

So, let’s talk about Tencel today, one of the highly accepted and popular fabrics in the world of Sustainability.

DID YOU KNOW TENCEL IS A VERSATILE FABRIC?

Originated back in the 70s, it is still a relevant and versatile fabric. Talk about any segment & you will find Tencel proudly promoting & popularizing Sustainability in every possible sense. From innerwear to activewear, this fabric is unbeatable & suitable for your date look, office vibes or for your travel tribe because of its purity, comfort, goodness & uniqueness.

In short, Tencel can be defined as, not literally, but metaphorically, a bi-product of cotton & silk as it has features of both fabrics - Shiny, Classy, Comfortable & Evergreen.

Wait!

It is even better than cotton as it does not get wrinkled so easily!

Best of all, it requires less energy & water when compared with conventional cotton & is Biodegradable which gives us all the more a reason to root for Tencel.

CURIOUS TO KNOW HOW IT’S MADE?

You know about Rayon (Viscose) right? I am sure you must have at least 5 clothes of this fabric! Tencel is similar to Rayon but the difference is that every process involved in creating Tencel contributes to creating a better world where not just fabric is breathable but also the air, water is in abundance & resources are not scarce.

Firstly, wood pulp is dissolved & mixed with solvents (environmentally conscious & reusable) to produce a wet mixture which is then squeezed out (extruded) through small holes to form threads that are spun into yarn & then converted to fabric.

Interesting! Right?!!

And guess what, every component used is compostable, meaning they can go back to Nature without creating any environmental damage.

WHY DO WE LOVE IT SO MUCH?

Well, answer a few questions first!

Don’t you look forward to clothes that are breathable & smooth for maximum comfort?
Don’t you want easy to use & durable fabrics?

Do you not look for flexible fabrics that can be molded into any form & yet give that gorgeous look you always want?

If the answer is yes, we are sure you too will fall in love with Tencel because one reason is not enough to justify the love for Tencel. Even our team at Shibui is all gaga over this wood pulp turned into a fabric.

This extremely versatile fabric allows us to experiment & hand-weave flowy, classy & ageless designs. With its incredible absorption characteristics, Tencel is highly sweat-absorbent & odor resistant, giving us all the more reason to use it for all seasons & reasons.

Environment Protection & Nature’s growth is the foundation of Shibui & working with Tencel supports us in our mission of bringing a revolution in the Fashion World.

Wait! Wait! Wait!

We are talking so much about Tencel, but you all must be wondering how Shibui is using it?
