I thought I'd take you behind the scenes, on a guided (albeit virtual) tour through our fabric stash here at Ocelot.

Our commitment to using only premium eco-friendly fabrics is at the heart of everything we do and today, I'm excited to shine the spotlight one of our hero fabrics.

Tencel

Tencel is a truly magical material that we're just a little bit obsessed with—lightweight, luxurious drape, and oh-so-soft, all while being kind to the planet. Tencel isn't just a fabric; it's a game-changer and here's why:

Renewable Resource: Made from eucalyptus trees aka nature's eco-warriors. Known for their rapid growth, minimal water requirements, and remarkable soil regeneration abilities. These mighty trees are leading the charge in our mission for planet-friendly fashion.

Biodegradability: Unlike some nightmare materials haunting landfills centuries later, Tencel is biodegradable and will break down out at the end of its lifecycle. 

Ultimate Comfort: Picture slipping into a cloud—soft, breathable, and hypoallergenic. 

Low-Maintenance Luxury: Life is way too short for high-maintenance clothes. With Tencel's strong fibers and vibrant color retention, your Ocelot piece will stay stunning for years to come.

Eco-Boost: Tencel is crafted in a closed-loop manufacturing process, where water and non-toxic solvents are continuously reused, minimising waste and environmental impact. 

To ensure the sustainability of our products, I only purchase materials with accreditations like the "Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)" and "OEKO-TEX Standard 100".

In short, by rockin' an Ocelot piece crafted from Tencel, you're supporting an independent and our mission for a more responsible, conscious clothing industry.
