introducing manimal

2010-09-03T08:00:00.000-07:00

the Manimal line was formed in 2004 after a native New Englander’s first visit to the American Southwest. designer Kristen Lombardi's interest in traditional costumes and animal forms influence the design of each moccasin and accessory. her process is driven by a deep appreciation for the almost forgotten world of artisan crafts and craftsmanship. all pieces are hand made by a team of no more than three craftspeople. in an attempt to best use precious materials, leather scraps are recycled and reworked within the Manimal family.
Manimal is a careful, quiet operation in Brooklyn, New York.

more on tencel...and new spring arrivals will be up on our site soon

2010-03-06T14:58:00.000-08:00

Tencel: A new fiber

Dec 11, 1999 - © Lili Pintea-Reed

Tencel: A new fiber by Lili Pintea-Reed
Tencel is a new fiber made in a process that is similar to the creation of rayon. As with rayon, cellulose cellulose, primarily from wood pulp, is used to make the fiber. Whether this creates a natural product is open to discussion.

The process involves dissolving wood pulp with a solvent which unlike the process for rayon or cupra, is a relatively non-toxic amine. The dissolved pulp is then forced through tiny holes called spinnerettes creating long, smooth, lusterous fibers much like silk in appearance and drape. It can be dyed to deep color.

what is tencel

2010-03-04T12:30:00.001-08:00

a few of our designers like alexander wang and clu are using tencel this season. many of you have asked what this is...
tencel: n. 1 a: the trademarked brand name for lyocell, a natural cellulosic fiber with excellent moisture absorption and an exceptionally silky hand. b: a sustainable, dyeable, wrinkle-resistant material that can be blended with a variety of other fibers, including cotton, rayon, polyester, silk, hemp, linen, and wool. c: fabricated using a closed-loop process that doesn’t require bleach, although some manufacturers may use chemical processes, enzyme baths, and dyes that may or may not be environmentally sound.
