To enjoy your clothes as long as possible, it is important to take good care of them. On this page you can read how fabrics are made, why we like to wear them and tips on how to keep them beautiful for as long as possible.
(Organic) cotton
A part of the organic cotton we use is GOTS-certified. This quality mark is one of the most reliable for environmentally friendly materials. GOTS sets many environmental requirements and also has guidelines for working conditions.
Our tips
- Do not let cotton dry in the sun to prevent discoloration.
- Wash cotton separately the first time you wash it, because the color may run.
Tencel
TENCEL™ is the brand name of the natural synthetic fiber Lyocell and the REFIBRA™ technology.
Tencel is a fine, soft fabric made from eucalyptus wood. The eucalyptus wood is processed with non-chemical substances that are reused several times. These substances do not end up in nature and are not toxic to the skin. In addition, the original raw material, wood, comes from a responsibly managed forest with FSC certification that stands for responsible forest management. Tencel has received the European Ecolabel, which means it’s made in a responsible way.
Our tips
- Be careful when you iron Tencel clothing. Don’t use the iron’s hottest temperature to avoid burning the fabric.
- Tencel will shrink about 3% with the first washing and will resist shrinking from then on.
EcoVero / Viscose
Viscose is a semi-natural fiber: it’s made from natural wood fibers, but processed into a wearable fabric through a chemical process. The chemical process makes viscose very suitable for printing with different colors and prints.
Our tips
- Do not rub or brush the fabric if it’s wet.
- When you wash viscose, it can shrink 4-8%. Iron your garment to retain its original form. The fabric can also run out while you wear it.
- Dry viscose in the air, but not in the sun.
- Do not use bleach to clean viscose.
