Collection: Lyocell fabrics

Lyocell fabrics – TENCEL™ & REFIBRA™ from responsible fiber innovation

Lyocell is one of the most exciting textile innovations of our time – and has been an integral part of our product range at Lebenskleidung for many years. The fiber combines an exceptionally soft feel with high functionality and a clear focus on sustainability.

Our lyocell fabrics are based on cellulose from wood and are manufactured using the so-called lyocell process. Some of our qualities are officially marketed under the brand names TENCEL™ and REFIBRA™ of Lenzing AG, others come from high-quality deadstock collaborations. What they have in common: their origin, their quality, and their exceptional qualities.

Whether as flowing woven fabric, fine jersey or structured knit – Lyocell fabrics impress with their smooth surface, high breathability and a pleasantly cool feel. They are ideal for modern clothing, from blouses and dresses to shirts, trousers and light jackets.

What is lyocell?

Lyocell is an industrially produced cellulose fiber derived from wood. Unlike many synthetic fibers, Lyocell is based on a natural raw material and is processed using a particularly environmentally friendly method.

Lyocell, TENCEL™ & REFIBRA™ – what is the difference?

Lyocell describes the fiber type. TENCEL™ and REFIBRA™ are registered trademarks of the Austrian company Lenzing AG for lyocell fibers produced under clearly defined ecological and technological standards.

At Lebenskleidung, all Lyocell fabrics are made from fibers by Lenzing . However, for selected deadstock grades, we do not always have the formal product certificates required for official labeling as TENCEL™. Out of transparency and responsibility, we consciously communicate these differences openly.

Sustainability through closed-loop processes

Lyocell is produced using a so-called closed-loop process. In this process, up to 99% of the solvent and water used are recovered and reintroduced into the production cycle. This results in significantly lower resource consumption compared to many other fibers.

Properties of lyocell fabrics

  • exceptionally soft & smooth
  • breathable & moisture-regulating
  • temperature-regulating – cooling in summer, pleasant in winter
  • antibacterial properties
  • Suitable for sensitive skin

Woven fabrics & knitwear made from lyocell

Our product range includes both woven lyocell fabrics and knitted qualities. While woven fabrics impress with their elegant drape, lyocell jerseys and knit fabrics offer additional elasticity and comfort. Our TENCEL™ Rib Jerseys and REFIBRA™ woven fabrics are among the most popular fabrics in our shop.

Lyocell fabrics at Lebenskleidung

We source our lyocell fabrics from transparent supply chains and work closely with partners who share our values. In addition to regular qualities, we deliberately also carry deadstock fabrics in order to make sensible use of existing resources and to transform textile surpluses into high-quality products.

Whether for your own label, a larger production project or creative individual pieces – our Lyocell fabrics stand for modern textiles without compromise.
