Episode 411: Matte TENCEL™ Denim Capsule Collection – Denim Mills Give Their Feedback
This special Blue Cast episode, Tuncay Kilickan talks with 13 denim fabric mills about their thoughts on matte TENCEL™ denim as each of them make a special capsule collection.
Following the 2021 introduction of Matte TENCEL branded lyocell fibers, Lenzing has been working closely with mill partners around the world to refine the development of the denim fabric structure, with an aim of achieving less sheen and more natural/cotton-like denim aesthetics but still with a soft hand feel.
As of 2023, close to 15 fabric mills have successfully developed an improved and optimized approach for producing denim fabrics with cotton-like aesthetics using matte TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers.
To celebrate this fabric innovation, a specially curated denim apparel collection, Matte TENCEL™ Denim Capsule Collection, was showcased for the first time during the Kingpins Amsterdam Autumn Show in October 2023, demonstrating unlimited aesthetic possibilities enabled by fabrics with at least 40 percent composition of matte TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers.
