Introducing our latest series... Let's Talk Fabrics
I thought I'd take you behind the scenes, on a guided (albeit virtual) tour through our fabric stash here at Ocelot.
Core to the brand is only using only premium & eco-friendly fabrics so I'm excited to shine the spotlight one of our hero materials.
Tencel
Tencel is a truly magical material that we're just a little bit obsessed with—lightweight, luxurious drape, and oh-so-soft, all while being kind to the planet. Here's why it's so great:
Renewable Resource: Made from fast-growing eucalyptus trees, known for their minimal water needs and soil regeneration. These mighty trees are pioneering planet-friendly fashion.
Biodegradability: Unlike some nightmare materials haunting landfills centuries later, Tencel is biodegradable and will break down out at the end of its lifecycle.
Ultimate Comfort: Soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic.
Low-Maintenance Luxury: Life is way too short for high-maintenance clothes. With Tencel's strong fibers and strong color retention, your Ocelot piece is easy to care for and will stay stunning for years to come.
Eco-Boost: Tencel is crafted in a closed-loop manufacturing process. Basically this means water and non-toxic solvents are continuously reused, minimising waste and environmental impact.
I only purchase Tencel materials with accreditations from the "Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)" and "OEKO-TEX Standard 100".
By wearing an Ocelot piece crafted from Tencel, you're supporting an independent and our mission for a more responsible, conscious clothing industry.
