DIVERSE MATERIALS
From organic cotton to merino wool & linen - we select our materials based on their quality and durability.
Many different materials are used at leevje. Here we have listed our materials and their care instructions for you.
Cotton
-
Cotton is the most natural fiber in the world
- max. 30° C
- Wash with similar colors
- Not suitable for the dryer, air drying
-
Easy to care for and durable - probably the two most important properties for children's clothing, which are combined in the material cotton. The popular natural fiber is one of the oldest raw materials in the world and can be used in many different ways. The fiber is known as a pleasantly soft and light material that is very skin-friendly and easy to care for. Cotton is also very popular because of its high tear resistance and robustness. Our organic cotton is grown according to the guidelines of organic farming - without the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. From the cultivation to the sale of the cotton, the highest standards apply, which are checked annually.
Linen
-
Particularly allergy and skin-friendly
- max. 30° C
- Wool or delicate wash cycle
- Low spin speed
- Not suitable for the dryer, air drying
- Hot steam can smooth out wrinkles
-
Summer, high temperatures, breathable clothing - the natural material linen is an absolute summer favorite for us. The natural fabric consists of a robust, hard-wearing and durable fabric. High-quality processed linen is dirt-repellent and tear-resistant, especially when wet. This is of particular advantage, as children's clothes in particular need to be washed more often. Due to its bactericidal properties, the material is ideal for allergy sufferers - and one of the most environmentally friendly textile fibers, because the flax fiber is biodegradable.
Tencel
-
A fiber made of wood, probably the most innovative fiber in recent years
- max. 30° C
- Wool or delicate cycle & mild detergent
- Low spin speed
- Wash inside out
- Not suitable for the dryer, air drying
- Iron at low temperature
-
In search of a 100% natural and sustainably manufactured material, we chose the biodegradable fabric Tencel. For us, the breathable fabric is the perfect material for the warm summer months. Known for being soft and comfortable against the skin, it has a slight sheen and drapes beautifully. Tencel is made from wood pulp obtained from eucalyptus trees. What begins as cellulose ends as smooth fibers that are extremely comfortable to wear. Sustainability runs through the entire production process and so Tencel even bears the European eco-label and was awarded the European environmental prize.
Wool
-
Comfortably warm and particularly cozy
- max. 30° C
- Wool cycle & wool detergent
- Low spin speed
- Wash inside out
- Not suitable for the dryer, air drying
- It is often enough to hang up the garment overnight and let it air out
-
Merino wool is our favorite material for the winter. The high-quality new wool from Merino sheep withstands extreme temperature fluctuations, so the natural fiber warms in winter and cools in summer. Due to the fine and thin merino fibers, merino wool does not scratch in contrast to conventional wool and is very comfortable to wear. The breathable properties of the material and a scaly surface prevent the formation of odors when you sweat - so a sweater made of 100% merino wool does not have to be washed after every wear. Animal welfare is very important to us, which is why we only obtain our high-quality merino wool from mulesing-free sheep and require the highest certificates.
