Candiani and Lenzing Debut Hemp-Infused TENCEL™ Fabrics
“Lenzing and Candiani Denim have developed TENCEL™ Limited Edition with hemp and Coreva fabrics. The fabric is a blend combining the Italian mill’s biodegradable stretch denim technology with the Austrian fiber producer’s novel cellulosic fiber revamped to include a ‘substantial proportion of hemp pulp.’ Soft and natural, the fabric is featured in an exclusive range of 50 oversized women’s shirts available only at Candiani’s Coreva concept store in Milan. Comprised of 80 percent cotton, 18 percent Tencel Limited Edition with hemp and 2 percent Coreva natural rubber yarns, the ‘Made in Italy’ shirt also features sustainable trims like organic cotton stitching yarn and raw steel buttons. The shirt is available in sizes XS-XL and retails for 185 euros ($199).”
