This page provides general information about textile fibers and their properties.
Materials
ORGANIC COTTON
Cotton is skin-friendly, soft, and breathable. Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides or genetic engineering, thus preserving water and soil. Recycled cotton reduces waste by reusing previously used cotton fabrics. Both options use less water than conventional cotton and ensure long-lasting comfort.
Recycled cotton reduces waste by reusing previously used cotton fabrics. Because it skips the water- and pesticide-intensive cultivation stage entirely, it has a lower water footprint than newly grown cotton.
TENCEL™
Tencel™ (Lyocell) is a certified fiber from the Austrian company Lenzing. It is made from FSC®- or PEFC-certified wood such as
eucalyptus and beech. A closed-loop process efficiently reuses chemicals and water. The fabric drapes smoothly, feels silky, and is particularly skin-friendly. It is soft, breathable, moisture-regulating, and biodegradable (certified by TÜV AUSTRIA as biodegradable in soil, freshwater and marine environments).

LINEN
Linen is made from flax fibers, which require little water and grow without pesticides. The fabric is airy, durable, and antibacterial, making it ideal for warm temperatures. Linen also gets softer with each wash while remaining tear-resistant. Its natural texture gives clothing a sophisticated, summery look that's effortless and timeless.
VISCOSE/ ECOVERO™
Viscose is lightweight, breathable, and has an elegant, flowing drape. EcoVero™ is a modern alternative to conventional viscose and is made from FSC- or PEFC-certified wood. Compared to traditional viscose production, EcoVero™ saves up to 50% water and significantly reduces CO₂ emissions.
CUPRO
As a vegan alternative to silk, cupro has very similar properties. The fabric is soft, smooth, and has a luxurious sheen. Cupro is breathable and moisture-regulating. It also feels pleasantly cool against the skin and drapes smoothly. Cupro is made from recycled cotton seed hulls that would otherwise go to waste.
RECYCLED POLYESTER
Old plastic bottles or textile waste are used to produce recycled polyester. This reduces plastic waste and consumes fewer fossil resources. However, virgin polyester is usually added because the fibers would otherwise be of inferior quality. In any case, significant amounts of energy and chemicals are used for both regular production and recycling. Another problem is that polyester, regardless of its origin, produces microplastic particles when worn and washed.
