Linen and tencel, for a fresh and bright spring summer

The combination of these two fibers makes it possible to obtain clothing fabrics with a delicate and impalpable hand, shiny, fresh and highly breathable. To create ready-to-wear garments, in full comfort and wearability

In the spring summer season linen predominates, the noble fiber for excellence, which “mixed” with tencel ensures a refined and comfortable look at the same time with shirts, trousers and outerwear that enrich our wardrobe with something unique and durable. 
Linen is the oldest textile fiber in the world, beautiful and precious, but above all ecological and natural, sustainable and with a very low environmental footprint.

The characteristics of linen 

Linen is a textile fiber, a very tenacious fiber: it is practically inextensible and does not deteriorate with repeated washing, on the contrary, thanks to them it can acquire greater softness.
It is heat resistant and little bleaching, hypoallergenic and breathable.
Due to its freshness and resistance, linen is perfect for making spring and summer clothing. It is breathable and therefore is able to optimally absorb moisture, and is also able to filter UVA rays.

The Tencel

It is a textile fiber that is extracted from the cellulose of the eucalyptus plant. It has a natural origin, but since it is subsequently processed with chemicals, it is in effect a synthetic fiber.

The characteristics of tencel

This textile fiber is characterized by excellent resistance, even after numerous washes, good breathability and moisture absorption. It is very soft and light, smooth and shiny, particularly suitable for sensitive skin.
Sometimes tencel is compared to silk and satin, due to the sensation it leaves on the skin. In addition, it allows excellent breathability and is a natural temperature regulator, thus allowing you to feel cool in summer and warm in winter.

Linen + Tencel: Pontex proposal for SS23

Pontex Spring Summer 2023 Collection focuses on natural and light clothing fabrics with a fresh touch, but at the same time more functional and resistant, with high performance.
For Spring Summer 2023 we have combined tencel with a natural fiber such as linen: these two associated fibers make it possible to obtain fabrics for clothing with a delicate and impalpable hand, shiny, fresh and highly breathable. We go from very light weights for shirts to heavier weights for trousers and outerwear.


Pontex offers clothing fabrics ideal for making ready-to-wear garments, comfortable to wear and functional, unique garments that accompany us over time and that can never be missing in our wardrobe. With soft and sometimes intense colors thanks to the absorption capacity of the fibers with which they are made.
Garments that are also ideal for people with sensitive skin, as we have already specified the hypoallergenicity of linen and tencel.

Discover Tencel fibre: for unique, long-lasting and eco-friendly pieces of clothing

The industry of sustainable fashion is increasingly choosing this innovative textile fabric to realise pieces of clothing. When mixed with linen and cotton, resistance, freshness and environmental compatibility increase   art. 04202/P05 ALICIA PXT: 55% TENCEL 45% LINO, altezza 145/148, peso 195mt2  295mtl Tencel fibre is gaining more and more space in the industry of sustainable fashion, thanks to its characteristics: it is very resistant and “responsible” because it is ecological and eco-friendly. What is Tencel fibre? Tencel fibre is a fibre with a natural structure. It has a very low impact on environment because it is obtained from eucalyptus trees, from which wooden pulp is extracted: for this reason, it is a pure cellulose fibre, 100% biodegradable. What are its unique characteristics? Tencel fibre presents a series of unique characteristics, a reason for being very used in the textile sector: Elasticity, maintained also after many washings. High humidity absorption. Resistance to creases, also after having being used for long periods. Comfort: its softness and lightness make it extremely pleasant to touch, offering a comfort experience superior to the one given by other textile fibres. Sustainability: the closed-cycle production process significantly reduces impact on environment. Versatility: thanks to its high colour absorption, Tencel fibre ensures really intense colours and generous shades. Tencel in clothing With Tencel, it is possible to create unique pieces of clothing, “ready to wear”, with a very fresh and breathable hand. In fact, Tencel fabrics are soft and delicate on skin.When Tencel is mixed with other fibres like Cotton and Linen, resistance, comfort and sustainability of the fabric increase.Cotton is a natural fibre widely used in fabrics for clothing due to its characteristics of softness, breathability, high resistance, to creases too. Furthermore, it is sustainable as it is a natural, biodegradable and renewable fibre; this makes it an eco-friendlier choice compared to synthetic materials, and it can be weaved in a wide range of weights and thickness. Linen is a natural fibre too: it is hypoallergenic, insulating and thermo-regulating, it is fresh and light and comfortable to wear, mainly in warmer weather. Despite its lightness, it is surprisingly resistant and long-lasting; linen fabrics are usually stronger than other natural fabrics like cotton. Furthermore, depending on how these fibres are combined, it is possible to obtain different micro structures thanks to the weaving pay of yarns. art. 01812/P05 HOYA PXT 71% TENCEL 16% LINO 13% COTONE altezza 139/141 peso 165m2 240mtl The particular flamed texture of linen with irregular weft of the fabric, for example, creates intriguing visual aspects that give the fabric great personality: in this way the piece of clothing gains a unique value in our wardrobe. art. 04201/P05 ANNIE PXT 51% TENCEL 49% LINO altezza 145/148 peso 135mt2 200mtl 100% eco-friendly pieces of clothing Linen, Cotton and Tencel fabrics for clothing in the Spring Summer Collection by Pontex can be garment dyed using fully natural dyes and pigments, to which finishing can be applied to give a delavé effect.
