Candiani Denim is an Italian family-run company founded in 1938. The company has introduced the TENCEL™ Limited Edition x COREVA™ project. The project comes to life thanks to a new fabric, the result of two great sustainable innovations, born out of the research of Lenzing and Candiani Denim, coming together for a new international exclusive.
The two most innovative European textile companies have combined their two largest and newest sustainable technologies, TENCEL™ Limited Edition with hemp and COREVA™. The first is a novel cellulosic fiber where a substantial proportion of hemp pulp has been utilized, a tree-free complement to wood pulp traditionally used for TENCEL™ Lyocell. The second represents the first biodegradable stretch denim in history.
TENCEL™ Limited Edition hemp was developed to push the boundaries of innovation and further inspire sustainability across the textile industry value chain. Hemp is recognized as a highly sustainable fiber and an alternative to many classic fibers used in fabrics, but unfortunately, it is equally renowned for its roughness. By applying Lenzing’s environmentally responsible closed-loop manufacturing process, hemp in addition to the wood pulp is now transformed into a soft fiber for the first time. The innovation of this collaboration can be summarised as follows: TENCEL™ Limited Edition with hemp + COREVA™ = sustainability + aesthetics and natural comfort.
This unique fabric in the world, refined, soft, performing, and natural, will only be available in Milan at the Coreva Design Store in Porta Ticinese 22, which will offer its fans an oversized women’s denim shirt in a limited edition of 50 pieces. The limited-edition fabric will also be available at Candiani Custom Microfactory in Piazza Mentana 3, for those who want personalized jeans.
Lenzing and Candiani Denim share a precise vision and leadership to improve sustainability in the textile and fashion sector. The common goal is to create widespread awareness, from the use of resources to the reduction of carbon emissions, with particular attention to the “end of life” of the garments that, if not biodegradable, remain in the environment for centuries.
