Why We Chose TENCEL™: The Fiber Behind Our Signature Fabric

At Reprise, we believe what touches your skin matters. The fabrics we wear every day should feel good, perform well, and align with the values we bring to the rest of our lives. That is why we are proud to use TENCEL™ lyocell, the fiber behind our signature fabric.

We've partnered with TENCEL™, adventure photographer Leonardo Brasil, and mountain athlete/ writer Georgia Danielson to take our activewear featuring TENCEL™ fibers into the wild: trail running and hiking through the breathtaking refugio system of Argentine Patagonia.

From the grand alpine scale of Bariloche to the soulful ridges of El Bolsón, this expedition puts our gear to the test in some of the world's most demanding outdoor terrain.

If it can perform here, it can perform anywhere.

Known for its exceptionally soft touch and effective moisture management, TENCEL™ fibers help create activewear designed to move comfortably with you throughout the day. Whether you are heading to a workout, traveling, running errands, or simply living in your favorite set, these fabrics are made for all-day wear.

Our partnership with TENCEL™ reflects our commitment to thoughtfully sourced materials and elevated essentials that prioritize both comfort and conscious design. We believe activewear should support your lifestyle without compromising on quality, feel, or responsibility.

What Is TENCEL™ Lyocell?

TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers begin with wood sourced from responsibly managed forests. The wood is transformed into wood pulp, which is then dissolved into a biodegradable cellulose solution. This solution is pushed through fine holes to create soft fibers that are spun into yarn and eventually woven into fabric.

The result is a material that feels smooth against the skin while delivering the performance qualities needed for everyday movement.

Designed for Comfort

One of the reasons we love TENCEL™ fibers is their unique combination of softness and functionality. The fibers help regulate moisture and create a lightweight feel that remains comfortable throughout the day.

Unlike many traditional activewear fabrics, TENCEL™ lyocell offers a naturally smooth hand feel that makes it ideal for garments worn close to the skin. The fabric moves with your body, helping you feel comfortable whether you are exercising or simply going about your day.

A More Thoughtful Approach to Activewear

Because TENCEL™ fibers are derived from natural wood sources, they offer a more responsible alternative to many conventional activewear materials while maintaining the comfort and performance people expect from their everyday essentials.

At Reprise, every material choice is intentional. We seek fabrics that support both your lifestyle and our commitment to creating better everyday basics.

TENCEL™ lyocell allows us to do exactly that: create activewear that feels luxurious, performs beautifully, and is designed with greater consideration for both people and the planet.

Because when it comes to what you wear every day, the details matter.
