At LEBASQ, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We explore how Dutch clothing brands respond to the call for sustainable fashion and what choices they make to reduce their environmental impact. From innovative materials to recycled packaging, discover how fashion is becoming greener.
Sustainable Materials in the Dutch Fashion Industry
Sustainability starts with the choice of materials. At LEBASQ, we consciously select organic cotton, Tencel, and recycled fabrics to minimize our impact on the environment.
Properties of Cotton: From Combed to Extra Long Fibers
Cotton is a widely used material in fashion, but its quality and sustainability vary depending on the type. Two popular variants are combed cotton and extra long staple cotton.
What is Combed Cotton?
Combed cotton is specially treated to remove short fibers, resulting in a softer, stronger, and more durable material. This type of cotton feels luxurious and is less prone to pilling.
Extra Long Staple Cotton: Benefits and Applications
Extra long staple cotton is a premium type of cotton that is softer, stronger, and holds color better. It is often used for high-end garments due to its exceptional quality.
Tencel (Lyocell) Clothing: Innovative Fabrics
In addition to cotton, innovative fabrics like Tencel and lyocell are becoming increasingly popular in sustainable fashion.
What is Tencel?
Tencel is the brand name for lyocell, a fiber made from wood pulp. It is known for its softness, breathability, and minimal environmental impact.
What is Lyocell Clothing?
Lyocell is a sustainable fabric produced in a closed-loop process that releases virtually no harmful chemicals. This makes it an eco-friendly choice for clothing. More about lyocell clothing and lyocell shirts.
Pre-Shrunk Cotton: Less Shrinkage, More Comfort
Pre-shrunk cotton undergoes a special treatment to reduce shrinkage after washing. This helps garments maintain their shape and fit for longer. Explore our collection of pre-shrunk cotton.
Certifications and Labels for Sustainable Cotton
At LEBASQ, we work exclusively with certified sustainable cotton. These certifications ensure responsible production practices.
What is Sustainable Cotton?
Sustainable cotton is produced with respect for both people and the planet. This means reduced water usage, fewer pesticides, and better working conditions for farmers. Learn more about sustainable cotton.
BCI-Certified Cotton: Meaning and Benefits
The Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) promotes more sustainable cotton farming by training farmers in eco-friendly techniques. BCI cotton has a lower environmental impact and supports better social conditions for farmers.
100% Biodegradable Materials in Fashion
Some garments are made entirely from biodegradable materials, allowing them to naturally break down after use without harming the environment.

Recycled Packaging and Recyclable Clothing
In addition to sustainable materials, brands are also paying attention to packaging and recyclability. From recycled boxes to biodegradable tags, every detail counts.
What is Vegan Clothing?
Vegan clothing contains no animal-derived materials such as leather, wool, or silk. This makes it an ethical and sustainable choice for conscious consumers. Browse our collection of vegan shirts.
