What Makes This Organic Fabric So Eco-Friendly?
The Simply Shift Dress is made of silky soft eco-friendly Lenzing lyocell fabric made from wood pulp (i.e. from eucalyptus trees) grown in forests. No pesticides, old-growth forests, genetic manipulation or irrigation are used. In fact, the lyocell fabrics used have earned Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification. This means that you rest assured that the products come from socially and environmentally responsible forests.
Unlike many other fiber processes, the chemicals used to produce lyocell fibers are nontoxic. The cellulose or ground pulp is treated in what is known as a closed loop process in which these solvents are recycled with a recovery rate of 99.5%. The small amount of remaining emissions is decomposed in biological purification plants. You can learn more about our eco fabrics here.

100% Merino Wool

Unlike other wool products, Vdora's fine Merino wool is non-itchy! This is due to the ultra-fine fibres that make up Merino. It also has a natural elasticity and resilience that enable our versatile apparel to fit well and move with you.
Merino wool is excellent for keeping your body cool when it's warm, and warm when it's cool - ideal for all 4 seasons!
Merino moves moisture - even as vapor, before it turns to sweat - from your skin, keeping you cooler when your body temperature rises. This makes for a breathable fabric that is ideal for hot climates and exercising!
Merino wool's natural crimp makes for a natural insulation in the cooler months by trapping "dead air" creating a buffer to the cold.
Merino apparel is amazing at keeping you from feeling cold & damp. Merino wool fibres excel in moving moisture away from the skin. So much so that even if the fabric gets wet, the surface area of your skin can remain dry. According to a few researches, Merino fabrics can absorb up to 30% of their dry weight before feeling wet. Most synthetic fabrics typically feel wet after they absorb less than 7%.
Wash less. Save time & water!
This fine organic Merino wool is naturally UV resistant (up to UPF 50) so you can worry less and enjoy the sun more!
