Our Materials

VISCOSE & RAYON

CELLULOSE-BASED FIBERS

Viscose is a type of rayon and is made from a natural material called cellulose. Cellulose fibers are derived from wood sources such as pine, birch, eucalyptus or bamboo. Viscose has a soft hand feel often compared to cotton or silk. Viscose accounts for approximately around 5% of global fiber production. The material offers several benefits, including strength, durability and moisture absorption. However, the production process can involve the use of water, energy and chemicals. Twist & Tango therefore aims to use viscose sourced from suppliers that provide third-party certifications or traceability systems whenever possible.

One example is LENZING™ ECOVERO™, a viscose fiber made from wood sourced from certified or controlled wood sources and produced according to the environmental standards defined by the fiber producer. Since viscose is made from cellulose, it is often described as a regenerated cellulosic fiber derived from natural raw materials.

POLYESTER & RECYCLED POLYESTER

DURABLE AND EASY CARE

Polyester is a synthetic fiber made from plastic-based raw materials, typically derived from fossil resources. Polyester can also be produced from recycled materials. One of the advantages of polyester is that its production generally requires less agricultural land and irrigation compared to natural fibers. Polyester is highly durable, long-lasting, resistant to wrinkles and can be woven in many different ways for a wide range of uses. Twist & Tango aims to work with recycled polyester certified by third-party standards in order to increase the share of recycled materials in our products.

NYLON

SYNTHETIC PERFORMANCE FIBER

Nylon and spandex are synthetic fibers known for their elasticity and strength. These materials are lightweight, durable and resistant to water and oils. They are often used in combination with other fibers to provide stretch, flexibility and comfort in our garments.
