Is Tencel Denim Really Better than Your Regular Rough-Tough Denim?

Tired and bored of your tight, sweaty, and harsh-on-skin regular denim? 

We heard you! This is why Nynaeve, a brand created by women for women, brings you a comfortable and beautiful range of easy-going summer denim. 

Not only does it feel like silk on the skin, but it also makes you stand out! It is classy, rich, and gorgeous! 

So, what is this magic-like fabric that makes denim feel & look, ohh..so…buttery soft? It is the Tencel, also known as Lyocell. So before we go into the details, let’s first understand what Tencel Denim is and how it is made.

What is Tencel, and how is it made?

Tencel is a natural fibre derived from botanical sources (wood pulp) and processed in environmentally friendly ways. Tencel is created by dissolving wood pulp, combining it with a wet solvent, drying it, and then spinning it into a thread. The thread is treated and spun into yarn or cloth, which acts as a foundation for your comfy yet fashionable clothing. 

Tencel is a lyocell and modal fibre brand. The wood used to manufacture this fabric comes from forests or plantations that are managed in the most environmentally friendly way possible.

Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.” 

—Rachel Zoe

Why is Tencel the better Denim? 

We don’t think that Tencel makes for better Denim. However, we do feel that Tencel serves as a better Denim for summers.  

It is more breathable and water-absorbent than cotton, otherwise believed to be the most comfortable summer-friendly natural fibre. Tencel fibres provide a new degree of natural comfort and sustainability, improving the standard of apparel to better meet the expectations of consumers. 

Environmental awareness is promoted through ethical clothes because of the environmentally friendly manufacturing method and the biodegradability of the finished product. When deciding between ordinary denim and Tencel denim, there are some important considerations to keep in mind. Sustainability is at the top of the list! 

The modern generation is drawn to the comfy nature and super-light feel of Lyocell clothes. It also has a perfect fit and shape, is durable, and has a bold appearance.

Exquisite features that make Tencel the showstopper

  1. Better colour retention, 
  2. Better Breathability, gentleness on the skin, 
  3. Sustainable production, 
  4. Botanic origin, 
  5. The long-lasting softness gets better with time and its eco-friendly biodegradable nature.
  6. Tencel denim is made using significantly less water than ordinary denim jeans. It is free of hazardous chemical dyes that are harmful to the environment and human health.
  7. It not only keeps you dry and comfortable, but it also makes you feel like you're dressed to impress.
  8. It is a wonderful blend of versatility, durability, manufacturing sustainability, and soft finish, making it the ethical fashion trend's favoured pick.
  9. Tencel is biodegradable – Clothing that not only reaches a new user when you are done with it but ends up returning to mother nature, thus reducing waste from clothing.
  10. Being eco-friendly makes Tencel better than its non-biodegradable counterparts having a low carbon print.
  11. The versatile nature of Tencel lyocell fibres makes it possible to combine them with silk, polyester, acrylic, cotton, and wool to enhance functionality, finish, and aesthetics.
  12. Lyocell modal fibres are butter-soft and pleasant on the skin. High strength and flexibility ensure superior quality and offer endless design possibilities.
  13. Tencel can be a base material for different types of clothing, be it your t-shirt or designer dress, and not just an alternative to your regular denim jean. 

The variety brought with Tencel makes it not an expensive but affordable category on your shopping list.

 Even though the price of ethical clothing cannot match fast fashion and their low prices, they are not so expensive that one cannot afford them.

 Our brand offers Tencel at reasonable prices. 

Making Tencel fibres employs incredible technology that uses less water, thus conserving a precious natural resource that serves as the basic need for existence.

Tencel denim is preferred for manufacturing thin jeans with minimal stiffness and a light cottony feel because it provides additional softness and a smooth finish.
