About our fabric.

Stripe & Stare

We believe fabrics with TENCEL™ fibres are a miracle.

So much so, that it is the basis of everything we make here at Stripe & Stare.

The Fabric
The Knicker Cycle

Introducing TENCEL™

After 10 years of research and development, with literally 1,000’s of women wear-testing the prototypes and iterations, the perfect pair of knickers, made in a responsible way, was born. The ingredient of choice for a better approach to comfort? TENCEL™.

The Fabric.

TENCEL™ Modal fibres are moisture-wicking, anti-bacterial and highly flexible, resulting in long-lasting softness and gentleness to the skin. 95% of our main range is made up of TENCEL Micro x Modal. The other 5% is made from elastane, which is not biodegradable or compostable. Our products must have 5% elastane to be functional and wearable; otherwise they would fall down!

The fibre is fully biodegradable under soil, freshwater and marine environments. It's an effective substitute to fossil-based synthetic fibres, that are a big part of the plastic pollution problem.

These fibres have been scientifically proven to be 2-3 times softer than cotton, making it the perfect knicker fabric.

Oh-so breathable
Cloud-soft on skin
Sustainably produced

The Pulp-to-fibre Process.

TENCEL™ Modal fibres are produced by Eco Soft technology, an environmentally responsible choice offering exquisite softness to textiles. The technology uses an integrated process, from pulp to fibre, which has high recovery rates of process ingredients and generates very low emissions to air.

Derived from controlled and

certified wood sources.

Sustainably produced

from pulp, to fibre.

Uses 10–20 times less water than

conventional cotton over its lifecycle.
