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 fibres can break down and compost at the end of their life cycle.* It's an effective substitute to fossil-based synthetic fibres, that are a big part of the plastic pollution problem.

These fibres are naturally soft and smooth to the touch, 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.

Made with at least 50% less carbon emissions and water consumption compared to generic viscose.

Introducing New Fabrics

We've launched two new fabrics! Our Soft Brushed Woven range contains LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose fibres, derived from certified or controlled wood sources. These fibres are made with at least 50% less carbon emissions and water consumption compared to generic viscose.**

We've also launched Eco Mesh, the oh-so soft and sustainable fabric made from recycled plastic bottles!
