The Different Types of Viscose Used at Cache Cœur: Comfort, Ethics, and Softness for Moms-to-Be

At Cache Cœur, every fabric choice is guided by our commitment to offering pregnant and breastfeeding women clothing that is both soft and responsible. Because we know that comfort, well-being, and ethics are essential during this unique time of life, we have chosen to work with various types of viscose—a fiber known for its fluidity, breathability, and exceptional softness.

But did you know there are several types of viscose, each with different environmental impacts depending on how they are made? Let us walk you through them.

Classic viscose: the base of a soft and fluid fiber

Traditional viscose, also known as artificial silk, is a textile fiber derived from wood pulp (usually from beech, eucalyptus, or pine). It is chemically processed into a soft, wearable thread. With a feel close to cotton or silk, it’s perfect for creating lightweight, breathable, and comfortable garments—ideal for maternity wear.

Bamboo viscose: naturally soft and antibacterial

Bamboo is a fast-growing plant that requires little water and no pesticides. Bamboo viscose is therefore a more eco-friendly option. It retains all the qualities of traditional viscose—softness, fluidity, and breathability—while offering natural antibacterial and thermoregulating properties.

At Cache Cœur, we use this material in some of our lingerie and nightwear collections to provide optimal comfort, even for the most sensitive skin.

EcoVero™ viscose: the eco-responsible alternative

EcoVero™ viscose is an innovation developed by Lenzing™, an Austrian manufacturer known for its sustainable fibers. It is made from FSC- or PEFC-certified wood using an eco-responsible production process that reduces CO₂ emissions and water usage by 50% compared to conventional viscose.

EcoVero™ fibers are also traceable, from the forest to the finished garment. At Cache Cœur, it’s a natural choice to combine ethics and elegance with no compromise.

Cupro: recycled elegance

Cupro is a fiber created through the upcycling of cotton waste—the short fibers that can’t be used in traditional spinning. Through a respectful process, this luxurious material delivers a silky feel similar to silk, while being vegan, breathable, and biodegradable.

We use cupro at Cache Cœur to create refined, lightweight pieces that are easy to wear throughout pregnancy and beyond.

Lyocell: innovation and sustainability

Lyocell (also known by the brand name TENCEL™) is one of the most environmentally friendly fibers available today. Made from certified wood pulp, it uses a non-toxic, closed-loop solvent process where 99% of the solvent is reused—making it a low-impact material.

Breathable, hypoallergenic, soft, and durable, lyocell is perfect for supporting women throughout their pregnancy and postpartum journey, offering lasting comfort and true peace of mind.

In conclusion: fabric choices that matter

At Cache Cœur, every material is carefully selected to meet the specific needs of maternity, while also respecting the planet. Whether it’s bamboo viscose, EcoVero™, cupro, or lyocell, these innovative fibers are at the heart of our mission to create a softer, more sustainable, and more responsible kind of fashion.

Because caring for you also means caring for the world your child will grow up in.
