10 October 2017

The world leader in cellulose fibers heralds a new era of sustainable fabrics with the launch of Tencel Luxe, a sustainable cellulosic filament yarn made using Lenzing’s pioneering closed-loop lyocell production process.

Encel Luxe was showcased last Friday October 6th 2017 at an exclusive event in Palais de Tokyo, Paris by the Austrian specialist. They introduced the industry to their new breakthrough sustainable cellulosic filament yarn designed specifically for the luxury market with the most intricate details in mind.

Consumer Desire for Eco-couture has Never Been Stronger
With an ever-rising population and sustainability increasing in importance with consumers, the fashion industry is waking up to a growing call for sustainable fabrics. The luxury fashion market has more sophisticated needs with consumers who want materials with unparalleled qualities such as fluid-like drape, smoothness and color fastness. Lenzing addresses this strong need with this new launch. Designed for sensuality and engineered for sustainability, Tencel Luxe redefines the landscape of luxury fashion.

Tencel Luxe : Feel the Future of Eco-couture Fabrics
Tencel Luxe filaments are the new player for sustainable high-end cellulose textiles. They offer superior aesthetics, performance and comfort level that allow it to be the perfect partner with other noble fibers such as silk, cashmere or wool. The smooth surface of the filament gives fabrics a silky feel and liquid-like drape for the most sensual silhouettes. Moreover, the branded filaments are naturally breathable due to their wood-based origin and offer outstanding color fastness, enabling designers to express bold color palettes where creativity knows no boundaries.

Tercel Luxe: a New Era in Sustainable Manufacturing
Tencel Luxe eco-botanic lyocell filaments are made from wood pulp of various tree species including eucalyptus, spruce, pine and birch trees. The pulp is sourced from sustainable wood in line with Lenzing’s strict Wood and Pulp Policy. The revolutionary closed-loop lyocell production process, which received the “European Award for the Environment” from the European Union, ensures minimal environmental impact due to low process water and energy use, raw materials and chemicals consumption.

“We are committed to setting industry firsts in order to enhance the protection of our environment while making filaments for fabrics that are designed to appeal to the most sophisticated consumers,” explains Stefan Doboczky, CEO of Lenzing Group. “Today, the launch of Tencel Luxe is a further sign of our ongoing commitment towards innovation and sustainability. Focused on a sustainable approach to comfort with superb color fastness and silky-smoothness, Tencel Luxe filaments are destined to become the premium fabric of choice for luxury garments.”

To bring its promise of eco-couture to life, Lenzing has partnered with three up-and-coming young designers and tasked them with interpreting their unique visions using Tencel Luxe, the industry’s new revolutionary filament: Quoï Alexander, Peet Dullaert and Fiona Fondadouze. Together they have created 6 silhouettes using the new material that they showed at an exclusive launch event for Tencel Luxe in Palais de Tokyo, Paris on the 6th of October 2017.
