Cotton is our most widely used fibre. Conventional cotton growing has a considerable impact on the environment. Lil' Atelier is part of BESTSELLER, and we source 100% of our cotton from our cotton portfolio, which consists of organic, recycled, in-conversion, cotton made in Africa (CmiA) and Better Cotton.

All cotton used in BESTSELLER products, not sourced as organic, in-conversion or recycled cotton, will automatically be sourced as Better Cotton.

Organic cotton is grown according to organic farming practices. 

Recycled cotton is typically made from manufacturing waste like leftover fabric scraps or from used cotton garments and textiles.  

Our collection of wool fabrics is crafted to perform—each blend is thoughtfully developed to offer distinct benefits like softness, breathability, flexibility, and helps temperature regulation. Merino wool offers insulation and moisture-wicking properties, making it a reliable choice for comfort in all seasons.

TENCEL™ branded modal fibres are soft, high-quality fibres made from responsibly sourced wood pulp and produced in a way that reduces environmental impact. The production of TENCEL™ Modal fibres is environmentally sound due to the special Eco Soft technology – a production process where wood pulp (the raw material) is produced at the same site as the fibre itself. Accordingly, the production can be done while utilizing less energy and other resources. 

Recycled polyester is a synthetic material typically made from waste items like plastic bottles or leftover textiles waste from manufacturing.  

The polyester fibre is a versatile synthetic fibre that is easy to care for. But it also uses large amounts of energy to produce, is based on non-renewable petroleum and it is non-biodegradable. Whilst we see a role for polyester as a key fibre in the near term, these characteristics mean that we need to increase our sourcing of certified and branded materials to reduce our dependency on virgin materials.
