Brands using ecovero

2 brands have products in our catalog whose composition contains ecovero. Sorted by how many garments they offer with this fiber.

Brand grade = average overall score across all of their products containing ecovero.

What this score doesn't measure

This is a material rating, not a verdict on any specific garment made from ecovero. The axes above are research-backed averages for the fiber itself.

  • ×Construction. Yarn staple length, weave / knit structure, stitch count, finishing. Identical fiber, very different garments.
  • ×Fabric weight (GSM). A 140 GSM tee and a 220 GSM tee made of the same ecovero feel and last very differently.
  • ×Dye + finishing chemicals. Beyond the three we flag (PFAS, formaldehyde, antimony), dozens of textile finishes aren't modelled.

Special Notes

Sustainable viscose — eco-friendly production

Same care as standard viscose

Additional Care Tips

  • Machine wash cold (30°C/85°F) on gentle cycle — treat like viscose/rayon but slightly more durable
  • Line dry preferred to maintain shape and reduce energy use; tumble dry low if needed
  • Iron on low heat while slightly damp for best results; use a press cloth on delicate weaves
  • Avoid wringing or twisting — gently press water out; EcoVero shares rayon's wet fragility
  • Avoid bleach and harsh detergents; use eco-friendly detergent to match the fabric's sustainability
  • Store on padded hangers for structured pieces; fold knits and casual items
