In 2022, our creative director Amy Powney was appointed as a brand ambassador for TENCEL™ and launched the ‘Buy One Get One Tree’ project on the Mother of Pearl website for Earth Day. For each sale of the Mother of Pearl x TENCEL™ product, a tree was planted through the TENCEL™ and One Tree Planted partnership.
“I am really excited to be appointed as a brand ambassador for TENCEL™ which is a branded cellulosic fibre of botanic origin. I have been using it in my collections for a number of years but often the consumer doesn’t make the connection that cellulosic fibre actually comes from trees.
Millions in fact, which are cut down each year and our demand is only growing, it has doubled in the last decade. This is leading to the destruction of some of our most ancient and endangered forests. TENCEL™ offers a sustainable alternative to this where the trees are managed under strict regulations to make sure that the planet's natural resources are replenished.
It is also biodegradable, versatile and super soft on the skin making it perfect for my collections at Mother of Pearl. It is an eco fibre which has the ability to transform the textile and fashion industry for the better.”
