The shorty is the cousin of our S M K TENCEL™ STOCKINGS, between the traditional ballet tights and the yoga leggings.
Since we have never been friend with pressuring elastics at waist (thank you for our stomachs) we created a new pattern and sewing method to allow our high waist to be elastic free! Hell Yeah!
The real only difference is that it is mid-tight length 😉
The textile is sleek, ribbed and super soft (LENZING TENCEL™, see below textile informations)
The textile has some little invisible stripes
About fabric, you may wonder about what is TENCEL™?
TENCEL™ is made from wood cellulose, it is a trademark created by Lenzing group that ensure the sustainability of your Lyocell.
In a nutshell, It s kind of viscose but in a far more sustainable way, here is why:
TENCEL™ is derived from sustainable wood chips, its wood chips used are certified by the Forest Stewardship council FSC Certification .
– 99% of the process water is used in closed loop, and god knows how much water & solvents are used in the production of textile, so this is a very important characteristic.
– its production has low ecological impact, it requires less water & energy to produce than most of bio-fiber textiles (such as viscose)
– biodegradable, TENCEL™ can fully revert to nature (but guess what? It actually depends how your country is handling trash, you can have a biodegradable material but if it isn’t in direct contact with soil or water, then it cannot biodegrade properly)
– recycle its own waste to produce electricity and thermal energy, there we go 🙂
– Lenzing is planning to go carbon neutral by 2050, boss goal!
– as a textile, TENCEL™ is breathable, durable & absorbent, we just love the way it flows and shine
Please avoid purchasing "viscose" that does not hold this Certification as non-certified viscose is causing mass deforestation, often using endangered forests. Learn more via Canopyplanet
