Organic Materials - Sustainability You Can Feel
The CLOECO difference comes down to our innovative designs & natural materials that are engineered for comfort
All basics are made from Tencel or Modal fibers - both produced from sustainably grown wood fibers. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified dyes are used to create our vibrant material colors.
Natural fibers are changing the fashion industry for the better. Made from renewable sources instead of crude oil like polyester, these fibers are less chemical intensive and do not have microplastics.

Do Tencel and Modal fibers contribute to deforestation?
They do not. In fact, the wood that is used to grow these fibers is grown specifically for material purposes. Also, growing more trees is a great way to capture carbon, so using this fiber helps reduce CO2 in our atmosphere.
What are the main benefits of Tencel and Modal fibers?
The list could go on and on, but our favorite benefits include: moisture management, skin-friendliness, bacteria growth resistance, breathability, and color retention. The plant fibers also make our basics incredibly soft.
Why should I choose plant fibers over recycled plastic?
We believe that the biggest misconception in the clothing industry today is that recycled fibers are good for the planet and your body. It is unfortunate news to tell that recycled plastics actually contain more harsh chemicals and release more micro-plastics than even new plastics. This is not only shown in the clothing industry by us, but also by a study done on recycled plastics in water bottles. Learn More
