Demand for Tencel in shoes takes Lenzing to Lineapelle

21/03/2017
Two years after making its debut in footwear, Tencel has now come to the attention of Italian shoe manufacturers, Lenzing has said. The cellulosic fibre producer took part in the Lineapelle exhibition in Milan earlier this year and has said “an increasing number of innovative shoe manufacturers” have shown interest in including the material in their products.

Lenzing worked with Austrian footwear brand Legero to incorporate Tencel fibre into shoes for the first time in 2015. It said at the time that footwear companies, including Legero, had come to it to ask for Tencel to put into their shoes attracted by the material’s moisture-management and sustainability credentials.
