The First Fabric From Oranges
Orange Fiber is the world’s first brand to produce sustainable fabrics from citrus juice by-products. The innovative process has been patented since 2014 in the main citrus juice producing countries all over the world.
TENCEL™ & Orange Fiber
Orange Fiber and the Lenzing Group, leading global producer of wood-based specialty fibers, partner together to create the first ever TENCEL™ branded Lyocell fiber made of orange and wood pulp. Produced using the same award-winning closed loop production process as standard TENCEL™ Lyocell fibers, TENCEL™ Limited Edition x Orange Fiber presents a novel cellulosic fiber to further enhance sustainability in the textile and apparel industry.
From fiber to yarn
The transformation of TENCEL™ Limited Edition x Orange Fiber into yarn takes place in the factories of our partner Pozzi Electa, a leading manufacturer of high-quality "Made in Italy" yarns. From the spinning and twisting processes we obtain our highly prized Orange Fiber yarn, available in different yarn counts, ready to be woven.
The Orange Fiber fabric collections
Combining our sustainable innovation with the great Italian and European manufacturing tradition, we work in synergy with textile companies to develop our fabric collections. Extremely versatile and timeless, our fabrics are developed to satisfy the different creative needs of fashion and design brands. Among our partners: Tessitura Serica Taborelli in Como for shuttle-weave fabrics for articles related to the silk tradition; Tessuti di Sondrio of the Marzotto group for fabrics dedicated to predominantly men's clothing; Candiani for the development of denim collections.
