The ELK Eta Dress is our go-to little black dress, crafted from a silky blend of verified Carbon Neutral TENCEL™ and ECOVERO™ Viscose - both ELK environmentally-preferred fibres. This dress features a classic v neck, and subtle gathered panel details across the chest, upper back and sleeves. Dropped shoulders and wide sleeves offer fluid movement. Finished with functional side seam pockets, the Eta Dress is designed to take you anywhere.

• Crafted from a blend of ELK environmentally preferred fibres: verified Carbon Neutral TENCEL™ and ECOVERO™ Viscose

Material:

63% Carbon Zero TENCEL™ 37% ECOVERO™ Viscose

TENCEL™ Lyocell Carbon Zero* and LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose are man-made cellulosic fibres (MMCF), derived from wood pulp. They create a silk-like feel, fluid drape and comfortable breathability.

TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres follow an environmentally responsible, closed loop production process, which transforms wood pulp into cellulosic fibres using high resource efficiency and low environmental impact compared to conventional methods of production. The spinning process recycles process water and reuses the solvent at a recovery rate of more than 99%. 

LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibres are recognised by CanopyStyle and EU Ecolabel certification as meeting high standards for environmental practice. This includes a low risk of sourcing raw materials from ancient or endangered forests, and the recycling of water and chemicals in the processing stages. According to Higg's life cycle impact assessment data, LENZING™ ECOVERO™ branded viscose fibres generate up to 50% lower emissions and water impact compared to generic viscose.

*We have not highlighted the carbon neutral attribute of this fibre as ELK has transitioned away from offsetting it's emissions and instead focuses on investing in projects that will deliver more  direct and positive environmental impact for the business. Our choice for this fibre is based on the attributes highlighted in the description and not on carbon neutrality.
