Consumers are finally starting to view their apparel from a sustainability 
mindset, even if they struggle to make all their lifestyle choices more 
responsible. But people want deeper meaning in how they work, live, and 
consume. 
Their calls for greater transparency and sustainable options are increasing 
the pressure on brands to design with more considerate products with purpose 
that make people feel good about their choices.
The latest capsule from the Lenzing’s new Tencel Sustainable Denim Wardrobe collaboration is centred on environmentally conscious production and how it can influence the denim supply chain for the better. This latest collection goes under the headline of Broadband – a name chosen to reflect the breadth of products in modern denim circles. Looking at denim today, the only trend seems to be that there is no trend at all, so the current definition of denim has never been so unstructured. Indeed, todays’ denim might not even contain cotton or be made from a woven fabric construction.

production requires innovative thinking that extends beyond just raw 
materials and production methods,” said Tricia Carey, Director of Global 
Business Development for Denim at Lenzing Group. “To truly attain 
sustainability, companies must also seek out non-traditional ways 
of working together. When we created the Sustainable 
 
Denim Wardrobe collaboration, we discovered new depths of partnership 
and new ways to share knowledge, supporting commercial innovation.”

Tencel Lyocell and Tencel x Refibra Lyocell fibers, cotton, linen, recycled 
cotton, and spandex. It brings together two completely different denim 
categories.The latest capsule is centred on environmentally conscious

Softwear embodies all that is familiar 
about denim fabrics made of Tencel 
Lyocell fibres – denim with femininity, 
fluidity, and functionality. 
Its counterpoint Hardwear ventures 
into newer territory, where Tencel 
Lyocell fibres meets tradition and 
tailoring in a collection that takes 
pleasure in the detailed minutiae of 
vintage garment construction.
The Sustainable Denim Wardrobe is a 
collaboration of companies that 
bring together best-in-class artisans 
from fibre to design to finished garment. Fabric collaborators include: A&A, 
Taiwan; Anubha, India; Atlantic MillsThailand; Candiani, Italy; Indigo Istanbul
Turkey; Kaihara, Japan; KG Denim,  India;  Mozartex, China; Orta, Turkey;  and 
Stella Blue, China. Sustainability-as-standard garment processing comes from 
Jeanologia. Design input for Softwear comes from Escuela de Arte Superior y de 
DiseƱo de Valencia. Design and garment making for Hardwear comes from 
British-based specialists Endrime and Blackhorse 
Lane Ateliers respectively.

Tencel Lyocell fibres are derived from responsibly harvested wood sources and 
produced in a closed loop, resource efficient production process. Tencel x
Refibra Lyocell are made from a substantial proportion – up to one third – 
of pulp from cotton scraps from garment production mixed with wood pulp to
create what is probably one of the most sustainable
fibre on the market today.
