TENCEL™ GIFT GUIDE
Since sharing my reels on Instagram about the sustainable, traceable and biodegradable qualities of TENCEL™ (yes, it’s the fibre I wrote a rap for!) and my blog post breaking down what it is and how it’s made, lots of you have been in touch to say you hadn’t realised its expansive eco credentials and that you would now be keeping an eye out for it on your shopping expeditions. Now we’re firmly in December, and Christmas is quickly creeping up on us, I wanted to share my edit of TENCEL™ finds which make perfect gifts (or self-gifts) from some of the brands which themselves are big fans of the fibre and its sustainability.
From the must-have packet of pants for your Christmas stocking through to investment pieces, as well as the TENCEL™ pieces Nick and baby Mahi have on their wishlist, read on for what I’m hoping to find under my tree on 25th December — here’s hoping Father Christmas knows how to check the label ;)
Stripe & Stare Biodegradable Knickers
Basic, comfy, eco-friendly knickers aren’t always so easy to find on the high street, so I love brands like Stripe & Stare for my basics. These knickers are fully biodegradable, and the box of three pairs makes a lovely gift thanks to its assorted colours, too!
Odd Molly Kaitlyn Dress
I can’t get enough of the deep orangey brown of this TENCEL™ calf-length dress, but if the “spiced honey” of it all isn’t really your jam (see what I did there?), it also comes in hot pink and black. This would make such a wonderful basic for the cooler months with a pair of tights and ankle boots, but would also work great as a mid-season transition piece.
Two Thirds Jacket in Washed Green
This is a super cool bomber jacket in a lovely, nature-inspired tone. It’s basic while making a statement, and your friends and family will love it.
CASAGiN Classic Tank Top
Tank tops are a must for any capsule wardrobe. This one is made from super soft TENCEL™ and comes in loads of colours to suit any mood — and any outfit. Your giftee will want to live in it 24/7, guaranteed.
MEGOSA Noela 3D KNIT Short
Ethical loungewear is alive and well! These knit shorts are sure to brighten up your loved one’s day as they get cosy around their home.
Ecoalf Sweatshirt
Available in dark grey and a neutral sandy tone, this sweatshirt looks like the comfiest piece of clothing ever created. Made from TENCEL™, MODAL and recycled polyester, it features a V-neck and slouchy shape for all your lounging endeavours.
THINKING MU Dress & Blouse
THINKING MU make stylish, romantic clothing in colours that tickle me pink. This flowy dress and smart blouse both come in a similar olive green that’ll look lovely in late winter and early spring.
ARMEDANGELS Sweatshirt in Dusty Rose
This snuggly crewneck is made from TENCEL™ Lyocell and comes in this lovely dusty rose, as well as sand, black and indigo. Another one your friends and family will never want to take off.
NinetyPercent Full-Length Leggings
Finding the perfect leggings is no easy feat, but these ones from NinetyPercent are pretty close. Made from TENCEL™ and elastane, they’re ideal for a laid back outfit, for lounging around the house or for a gentle yoga session.
Mother of Pearl Faith Stripe Dress
This stripey frock is sure to make a splash, all while being one of the most comfortable items of clothing your giftee will ever own. But that’s Mother of Pearl for you: style, comfort AND eco-friendly practices.
For Mahi
Mini Rodini Alpine Flowers Jumpsuit
A colourful and super soft jumpsuit with all-over flower print in contrasting lavender and yellow. Made in TENCEL™ Lyocell with a hint of stretch, the jumpsuit has snap buttons at the shoulder and crotch for easy dressing with a baby who is always on the move.
For Nick
Son of a Tailor T-Shirt
TENCEL™ has the extreme advantage of being incredibly soft to the touch, making it ideal for wardrobe basics like this simple t-shirt for men. It comes in eight versatile shades from black to olive green to sky blue.
DEDICATED Short Sleeve Shirt
If the men in your life like to have a bit of fun with their wardrobe, this short-sleeve shirt with a palm-tree-and-monkey pattern may be just the thing.
