The softest Tencel on the market!
This signature blend of Tencel and Rayon is a wonderful combination of refinement and practicality. Tencel lends weight to create long lines and an elegant drape, along with a soft feel and suede-like finish. For the environmentally-conscious, Tencel comes from a creation process using 100% biodegradable cellulose fiber that is processed using an organic solvent, then spun into a luxurious fiber.
Rayon, or Viscose Rayon, was the first manufactured textile fiber, invented in 1884 in France, but has been produced for global commercial use since 1905. Different from other man-made fibers, Rayon is not synthetic, being made from regenerated wood pulp, an Eco-natural, cellulose-rich raw material. Rayon's properties are renowned for their similarity to organic fibers such as cotton and linen. Rayon is soft, strong and absorbent, which makes for an ideal garment in keeping the wearer cool and comfortable. We also love how vibrantly the colors appear on this fabric, enriching our garments with vivid hues.

THE STORY
Combining sensible styling with bold fabric print artistry, we have also crafted our woven French Batik Tianello Tencel Penelope Blouse using a natural fibered, eco-friendly Tencel & Rayon blend fabric chosen for long wearing comfort, durability and minimal care. Design elements used in this silhouette reach back to the “chemise moderne” styles of the early 20th century chiefly known for their clean lines and minimal aesthetic. Our version here showcases a dramatic "batik" motif print (which we call “French Batik”) to help express your own personal sense of style.
Our classic Tianello Tencel Penelope Blouse features a wide spread point collar that creates a sophisticated V-neckline that sweeps into a reinforced button down front. Long flattering darts to the torso shape the waist and flare at the hips, giving this fitted body style a somewhat tailored look. Full length sleeves flow into hemmed cuffs. Elegant draping flows down from the shoulders to a hip-length round bottom hem that sports fashionable side slits for added wearing comfort. There is subtle stitching throughout which enhances the fashion simplicity of the blouse. Garment dyed richness also adds distinctive character to this versatile piece that pairs well pants, leggings, and designer jeans. This top is perfect for traveling, smart looking for the office and would make a lovely addition to your weekend wardrobe.
Our sublime French Batik fabric print draws inspiration from the ancient art form of resist dyeing, commonly known as “batik”. Dating back to 4th Century BC Egypt, this technique was also practiced in Asia, Africa and Australia, but has since been highly developed in Indonesia. Batik is prized for its intricate patterns and almost endless color palette. Our “French Batik” rendition here features a blockprint styled, floral landscape rendered in naïve artistry. This synergy of superb print artistry and functional apparel design wonderfully enhances the luxurious drape of our premium Tencel & Rayon blend fabric.
This Tianello natural fibered, eco-friendly Tencel & Rayon Blend garment was designed, developed and proudly Made In The USA using premium imported fabric.
