Tencel Prêt-à-porter 

Tencel is a fibre with a natural structure, it is eco-friendly and it softly and gently leans on skin: this is why it is «ready-to-wear»

Tencel

Tencel sets a new standard of sustainability and natural comfort: it allows to realise fabrics for clothing that are soft and gentle on skin, with a very low impact on environment because it is a fibre with a natural structure. 
In fact, it is produced starting with eucalyptus trees, from which wood pulp is extracted: for this reason, it is the most ecologically compatible artificial cellulose fibre.   

Fabrics for clothing in Tencel:

  • They are durable, elastic, soft and light, therefore indicated for sensitive skin
  • They maintain their elasticity also after many washings
  • They do not require particular care and attention when washing or drying and they do not need to be ironed (but if you want to iron them it is enough to set iron at a very low temperature)
  • They are breathable, because the eucalyptus wood they are obtained from has the advantage of absorbing humidity in a natural way.

Which piece of clothing for what outfit?

We chose Tencel to realise clothes intended for a refined and functional outdoor. Like the shirt Gwen 100% Tencel, with a very warm and soft hand, and perfect wearability: to be worn under a soft sweater or an embracing coat, combined with trousers with essential lines.

Code words, versatility and colour

Versatility is one of the strong points of Tencel that, thanks to the absorption capacity of the fibres it is made of, is able to show definitely intense colours and offer generous nuances.

This Gwen shirt, for example, is realised in azalea colour: a boost of good humour, proposed by some fashion designers in a total-look formula too. Combined with green or brown trousers, for example, it stands even more out in its finishings and shades, for a modern outfit that maintains its sense and significance despite the passing of time.

A new way to achieve sustainability, we could say, that is implemented through the choice of unique clothes with a long life.

Tencel, cotton and elastomer   

Tencel has got many virtues, as you have read above, and, if it is combined with other fibres like cotton and elastomer, it also obtains the one of being stretch: an effect that deserves particular attention in the realisation of trousers for men and women. Softness, durability and elasticity become fundamental characteristics when we choose trousers to be worn all day, that Pontex proposes in a wide range of colours:

Long life to Tencel 

Therefore, long life to Tencel if we want to embrace the path of sustainability choosing fibres with a low impact on environment.Wearing a piece of clothing realised with this fabric means making an eco-friendly choice, in line with the course set by the European Community concerning sustainable fabrics for clothing. With the purpose of reducing the impact of this field on environment, the Strategy of the European Union adopted on the last 30th March 2022 aims at passing to a circular and climate-neutral economy within 2030. Textile products sold in the European market shall be more durable, reusable, repairable and efficient, free from dangerous substances and produced respecting human and environment rights.

The document of the strategy states: “By 2030 textile products placed on the EU market are long-lived and recyclable, to a great extent made of recycled fibres, free of hazardous substances and produced in respect of social rights and the environment. Consumers benefit longer from high quality affordable textiles, fast fashion is out of fashion, and economically profitable re-use and repair services are widely available. In a competitive, resilient and innovative textiles sector, producers take responsibility for their products along the value chain, including when they become waste. The circular textiles ecosystem is thriving, driven by sufficient capacities for innovative fibre-to-fibre recycling, while the incineration and landfilling of textiles is reduced to the minimum”.

Tie-dyed velvet: the art of imperfection

Discover the unique beauty of hand-dyed velvets, where every hue tells a story  Velvet is a fabric very appreciated by fashion, for many reasons: it creates fluid and elegant lines, is available in a wide range of finishing types, from smooth velvet to corduroy, offers many creative possibilities. Furthermore, this fabric is well suited to particular dyes and finishing, as in the case of the so called “tie-dyed” effect.  What is the meaning of tie-dyed in fabrics for clothing?  Tie-dyed means that a fabric for clothing, velvet in this case, was dyed in an uneven way; therefore, it presents a not homogeneous, irregular colour, with striping that confers character and identity. The uneven effect is wanted and sought after.  Why tie-dyed velvet?  With tie-dyed velvet it is possible to create pieces of clothing with a contemporary allure, with a daily and relaxed style. Fluid trousers and shirts with an elegant and shiny touch, versatile jackets and soft embracing coats, with lines that develop themselves comfortable along the silhouette.  Tie-dyed velvets by Pontex  We have created a capsule of precious velvets for clothing with tie-dyed effect, ready to tailor the desired piece of clothing. Our velvets are suitable for garment dyeing process too, that is when the piece of clothing is dyed after tailoring instead of before the realisation of the piece itself. In this case, the piece of clothing acquires a really unique effect because dye distributes in a slightly different way on each piece. Furthermore, garment dyeing allows to dye pieces of clothing made of different materials and fibres in only one passage. For the dyeing process, we rely on the best experts in Northern Italy, specialised in piece and garment dyeing fabrics for clothing by using the most innovative techniques now available. We synergistically work side by side with them in order to realise a product that is unique and customised.  The dyeing process to obtain the tie-dyed effect is hand-made, in a fully artisanal way, through the so-called “spraying”. Upon request, dyeing can be made with natural colours, at a cold temperature, using pigments and resins to dye at relatively low temperatures, with considerable energy saving and reducing impact on environment.  It is important to underline that these particular dyes, as well as finishing, coating and resin-treatments are resistant over time only when realised on top-quality fabrics.  Why rely on Pontex?  Because we are craftsmen in fabric: we dedicate ourselves to the creation of unique and precious, high-quality fabrics for clothing, with a high aesthetical and functional value. Like craftsmen, we perform our work with passion and commitment, investing time and energy in the realisation of each fabric that is customised basing on your requests. We follow you in all production steps, from the choice of the fabric for which we provide stock service, to the best dyeing and finishing process, in a timely manner and making our know-how available for you, following strict checks to test its utmost quality and resistance. Our style office, that is the creative heart of Pontex, constantly monitors fashion trends and develops trendy mood-board and concept choosing the best yarns, the best structured textures, the best finishing and processes to create unique fabrics for clothing. This is the case of tie-dyed velvets, the last newness from Pontex for a “tailor-made fashion”, open to experimentation and changes.  The new Fall/Winter 25/26 Collection by Pontex is focused on velvets, but also on resin-treated, coupled, Made in Italy fabrics, on viscose, silks and gauzes, on cotton and cotton elastomer, on cottons with structured texture and tencel.

Velvet: the best fabric for clothing for Fall/Winter fashion

With its soft and shiny texture, this fabric for clothing spans the centuries, fascinating generations of stylists and fashionistas. Touching it, you immediately feel the body of this fabric and the unique way it reflects light and absorbs colours. Over time, velvet has been able to adapt to a more daily use in the creation of pieces for clothing, also thanks to the different processes that characterise it, giving it different and never obvious looks: from corduroy (velvet with wales) to froissé (“distressed” look), from velveton (moleskine) to jacquard (design woven in the weft).

Trend: velvet is a cyclical fabric, that regularly returns to be a trend, always able to surprise with new shades and applications. Within its strategy of sustainability, Pontex guarantees the utmost transparency through the full traceability of the product concerning yarns, dyes and colourants, processes and finishing. How to wear velvet today Total look: choose a velvet suit for a sophisticated and embracing effect, maybe combined with a pair of shiny décolleté. A touch of velvet: if you prefer a more discrete look, insert velvet with accessories like bags, shoes or belts. Play with colours: velvet is not only black or burgundy, try brighter colours and nice patterns for an original touch. Inspiration from catwalks Fashion has proved, with the last Collections, how velvet can be interpreted in one thousand different ways. From midi skirts to suits, passing to blazers and trousers, velvet is the undisputed protagonist of every cold season. ph. and Collection Cruna Collection of velvets by Pontex Pontex is specialised in the creation of velvet for clothing: in particular, for the Fall/Winter 25/26 Collection, we propose a wide range of velvets with warm and super soft hands in viscose, silk, modal, tencel and cotton, smooth and corduroy, customisable.
