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.

Responsibly Made In Canada

All our clothes and accessories, including the Simply Shift Dress, are handmade (yes, by actual people) fairly in Toronto, Canada. We contract local seamstresses to support the local fashion design & production industry.

Sizing/Fit:
S : Bust = < 36" Length = 38"
M : Bust = < 40" Length = 40"
L : Bust = < 44" Length = 41"

True sustainability in harmony with nature.

Project Vdora was born out of necessity - a need for eco conscious, ethical and smart solutions. There is always a compromise to be made when it comes to consumption.

The answer to environmental and social concerns lie within respect & moderation.

It's not enough for an item to be "eco". A true eco-friendly piece has to be smart & becoming - able to keep up with your lifestyle gracefully, so you can do more with less. In turn, consume less and consume slow.

This is the aim of Project Vdora:

To provide true quality capsule pieces for year-round wear - in virtually any climate - through mindful design, environmental choices & labour practices that support small, individual & local livelihood.

With the right solutions & virtuous attitude we can live beautifully in grace and harmony.

Now, this is the good life.

#quevdora

When designing Vdora's smart clothing, I carefully select high quality eco-friendly fabrics that meet the brand's sustainability & ethical standards.

Vdora's principal fabrics are anti-microbial, temperature regulating, odor resistant and gentle on both the skin and the environment.

- Kim,
Designer & Project Director

Vdora presents versatile clothing that meet your needs by using these smart fabrics: 100% Ethically Sourced Merino Wool, 100% Recycled PET treated with ChitoSante and organic plant-based fabrics namely Tencel & Bamboo.

100% Merino Wool

The Versa Line utilizes ethically sourced 100% Merino wool. It is reactive, natural, renewable and biodegradable.

Lightweight, Soft & Resilient
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.

Moisture Wicking & Temperature Resistant
Merino wool is excellent for keeping your body cool when it's warm, and warm when it's cool - ideal for all 4 seasons!

Keep you cool.
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!

Stay comfortably warm
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%.

Anti-Bacterial & Odor Resistant

Merino wool has natural anti-bacterial properties.On top of that, because of its awesome moisture-wicking properties, odor causing bacteria can't thrive!
Wash less. Save time & water!

UV Protection
This fine organic Merino wool is naturally UV resistant (up to UPF 50) so you can worry less and enjoy the sun more!

Recommended Care:
Hand wash cold or machine wash in gentle/cool setting. Hang or lay flat to dry. If you must iron, please do so in low temperature.

100% Recycled PET, treated with EPA certified ChitoSante

with UPF 50 protection (all day UVA & UVB sun protection)

The Fluid Collection is made with 100% Recycled PET - yes, the same kind of plastic used on your water bottles! We strongly encourage recycling materials that would otherwise end up in our oceans. While a lot of people don't know how to recycle, reuse or re-purpose their plastic bottles, the conscious fashion innovators have come up with a way to turn plastic into wearable fabric. We're taking advantage of this technology. Vdora's Fluid pieces are made from GRS Gold Level certified recycled yarn.

Optimized with ChitoSante

While it's easy to want to support and wear recycled plastic, we know that it's a challenge to overcome our inhibitions to sport them in warmer temperatures when we tend to perspire. This is why we use ChitoSante treated rPET fabric.

ChitoSante is a new environmentally friendly treatment that is made from a natural biomass - crab and/or shrimp shells. It is the only anti-bacterial bio-agent in the world that is certified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Chitosante is breathable, durable, quick drying, soft, anti-static and easy to handle. On top of these already astounding benefits, ChitoSante also has natural & durable anti-bacterial properties. Wash less. Save time & water!

This means that our ChitoSante treated Fluid Collection strongly inhibit the growth of bacteria, allowing them to stay fresh, hygienic & odor resistant... even with minimal wash!

Recommended Care :
Hand or machine wash in gentle/cool setting with similar colours. Hang to dry. If you must iron, please do so in low temperature

Plant Based Specialty Fabrics

Silky Soft (Tencel) Lyocell Fabric

A botanic fibre, Tencel is produced from the pulp of forest grown trees (such as eucalyptus) using a close looped process (virtually no waste). How? The Lenzing group (developers of Tencel) recovers more than 99% of the solvent in a closed loop and repeatedly feeds it back into the production process.

The Tencel fabric itself is soft, smooth, vibrant, durable and anti-bacterial!

Bamboo Fleece

The breathable and sustainable ultra-soft fleece is made from Bamboo plants. Bamboo does not require fertilizers or pesticides for cultivation and it grows rapidly without depleting the soil. The fibre it creates is durable and naturally breathable & anti-bacterial - truly a great material for sweatshirts!

Wash less. Save time & water!

Recommended Care :
Wash in gentle/warm setting with similar colours.
Tumble dry on low heat or hang to dry.
