Fabric

CERTIFICATIONS

All the fabric we use has OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 Certification. 

OEKO-TEX® is a globally recognized certification system for textiles that ensures they are tested for harmful substances and produced in environmentally friendly and socially responsible conditions. There are different types of OEKO-TEX® certifications, with STANDARD 100 being the most well-known—it guarantees that every component of a textile product (including threads, buttons, and coatings) has been tested for harmful chemicals.

LENZING™ STANDARD Certification refers to the sustainability and quality standards set by Lenzing AG, an Austrian company known for producing eco-friendly fibers like TENCEL™, LENZING™ ECOVERO™, and VEOCEL™. These certifications ensure that the fibers are derived from responsibly sourced wood and manufactured in an environmentally friendly process. Lenzing fibers are often OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified and can also meet FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC™ (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) standards for sustainable forestry.

FABRIC PRINTS & COLOURS

As part of our commitment to transparency, the following covers the fabric printing process. Our fabrics are primarily printed using rotary machines, which differs from digital printing. A rotary fabric print machine is an industrial textile printing machine that uses cylindrical screens to print patterns continuously onto fabric. As this is a manual process, it can result in a slight colour disparity of up to 10% between each production run. This is a natural outcome of the printing process and should be taken into consideration when placing orders for multiple pieces.

OUR PREFERRED FABRICS

We endeavour to use natural fibres when designing our garments, which are highlighted below. These selections provide maximum breathability and softness, while acting gentler on the environment. Our washing instructions are provided below, followed by insights into the unique characteristics of each fabric blend we offer. 

RAYON

Our signature soft, buttery Rayon has been a staple in our collection since the beginning. Rayon is a textile made from regenerated cellulose fibres, derived from wood pulp, known for its softness, draping qualities, and ability to mimic the texture of natural fibres like cotton and silk. We pre-shrink our rayon prior to cutting it.

COTTON

Our 100% Cotton is crafted solely from pure plant fibres renowned for their breathability, softness, comfort, and durability. We apply additional softener to our cotton during the washing process to enhance the buttery hand-feel. 

COTTON MODAL BLEND

Cotton modal is a 50 / 50% composition, made from natural cotton fibres and sustainably sourced modal fibres. Modal is a type of textile made from cellulose fibres extracted from beech trees, prized for its softness, smooth texture, and moisture-wicking properties. 

100% TENCEL™ LYOCELL

TENCEL™ is the trademarked name for the fibre Lyocell. Lyocell fibres are originally derived from wood pulp sourced from responsibly managed forests and are also biodegradable. Our 100% Lyocell is lightweight, breathable and buttery soft, making it an ideal fabric for our sleep garments.  

LYOCELL LINEN

Lyocell Linen is a blend of 50% TENCEL™ Lyocell and 50% Cotton with a seamless linen dobby weave texture. Lightweight, breathable and soft against the skin. It’s a versatile fabric as the linen-look weight and texture can transport our garments from night to day.
