LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose is the kind of fiber that can so easily slip under the fashion radar. Lesser known than the world-famous TENCEL™ Lyocell, yet made by the same Austrian supplier, many sustainable shoppers may not even know it exists.
What Is LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose?
Produced in a closed loop system that regenerates and reuses chemicals and water, LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose is a low impact viscose fiber with up to 50% less carbon, energy, and water impacts than conventional viscose. The raw material is harvested from sustainably managed trees, a renewable resource. LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose has even been awarded the EU Ecolabel - a mark of its “eco-responsible” DNA.
Sustainable fashion experts, Good On You, call LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose an “innovative fabric” - noting that it is one of the best alternatives to what can be a highly controversial fiber. Regular viscose production is linked to all sorts of social and environmental concerns, from chemical exposure to deforestation. That’s what makes LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose so important, as it eliminates each of these issues.
LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose is also a highly breathable fabric that feels silky smooth on the skin.

Here you can really make the most of LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose’s smooth, silky soft texture and natural drape.
Quenac: The Two-Tone Tee
When applied to tees, where we blend it with Linen, LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose generates a subtle “slub” effect in which lighter shades crisscross with darker ones. The Quenac is a gorgeous example of this and is a consistent hit with the TWOTHIRDS (300,000 strong) fan base. This sustainable t-shirt features our iconic whale embroidery that stands as a symbol of our commitment to the ocean, sustainability, and slow fashion.
