Viscose has its roots in nature. Produced from wood cellulose—most often from beech, spruce, and eucalyptus trees—viscose is one of the first major discoveries in the history of the textile industry. Its history dates back to the 19th century, when a cheaper alternative to silk was sought. The result? A material dubbed "artificial silk."
And rightly so, because viscose is truly enchanting. It's silky smooth, breathable, absorbent, and drapes beautifully. Soft, but not saggy. Light, but not sheer. The perfect base for clothes that are meant to be both pleasing to the eye and to the body.
Advantages you can feel
Viscose is one of the few materials that simultaneously:
-
provides breathability like linen,
-
it is pleasant to the touch like cotton,
-
has a delicate, subtle shine like silk,
-
and it flows as if someone had drawn lines of harmony on it.
It's a breathable fabric. It also resists static, absorbs colors well, and drapes beautifully. Sounds like the ideal? Almost – although it does have its drawbacks. Viscose itself isn't particularly elastic, and it can warp slightly when exposed to moisture. That's why we opted for a duo.
Viscose with elastane – the perfect combination
The addition of elastane adds a new dimension to the fabric's comfort. Leni pants not only look good but also hold their shape. They stretch where they need to, returning to their shape as you move, sit, or stand. They don't sag at the knees, and they don't lose their shape after the first wash.
This accessory makes Leni trousers a pair that can be worn like sweatpants, styled like classics, and treated as a staple in your everyday wardrobe. Between a lazy morning and a quick coffee in the city, between home and the world, they're simply perfect for everyday wear.
Choose wisely, wear comfortably
You don't need to know the Latin names of the trees from which viscose is made, or the processing methods. Just wear pants that breathe with you. Viscose with elastane is a material created for movement, for life, for everyday life that knows no compromise.
And if anything could bring us closer to the idea of the perfect fabric, it would be this one – inconspicuous, comfortable, beautiful in its simplicity. Just like Leni's pants .
