At Kin Made, we believe that sustainability starts from the point of conception in the design and the selection of materials. With our new blog series 'Made to Last', we explore the different fabrications we choose to use that are gentler on the environment. These usually are the the most natural, earth-friendly fibres that we look for in our sourcing process. In this first post of the series, we share the wonders of Tencel itself, from its sustainable origins to its environmental merits.

What is Tencel made of?
Sourced from responsibly managed wood pulp, Tencel stands as a testament to innovative, eco-conscious fashion. Eucalyptus, beech, and spruce trees are carefully selected for their rapid growth and minimal environmental impact, setting the stage for a fabric that can be used consciously.

Environmental benefits:

• Closed-Loop Production: Tencel's closed-loop process ensures minimal water and chemical usage, aligning seamlessly with our dedication to responsible practices.
• Biodegradability: Completing the sustainable cycle, Tencel is biodegradable, leaving no lasting impact on the environment.

Tencel qualities:

• Luxurious Texture: Tencel's silky touch proves that elegance and sustainability can coexist seamlessly.
• Climate-Friendly: Adaptability to various climates, thanks to moisture-wicking properties, ensures comfort and style all year-round.
• Versatility: Tencel can be used to create various types of garments, from pants to tops and dresses. 

As part of the KIN 03 capsule collection, the Tia Tie Top and Jordan Trousers are crafted from 100% Tencel. The matching sets are a timeless addition to any wardrobe, while the Jordan Trouser or Tia Tie Top can also be worn easily as separates. Next time you look for your next conscious purchase, be sure to check the fabric contents of the garments. We believe that fabrication choice and how materials are sourced represents a lot about our take on sustainability.
