Frequently Asked Questions
Does the black stay intense after several washes?
Although the color is designed to last, adherence to GOTS standards implies the use of eco-friendly dyes without aggressive chemical fixatives, which may result in a slight evolution of the shade towards a more natural patina over time. To maintain the intensity of this pigment and the exceptional softness of Tencel™, always prioritize washing at 30°C inside out, avoiding fabric softener which alters the fiber. Finally, air drying is strongly recommended to protect the vibrancy of the hue from drum heat, thus ensuring the longevity and suppleness of your garment.
Why choose black yoga/pilates shorts in natural material rather than synthetic?
Black shorts made of polyester or nylon are ubiquitous in the yoga market, but these plastic materials retain odors, heat up quickly during exercise, and release microplastics with each wash. Tencel™ offers the same technical performance (support, elasticity, durability) with the qualities of a natural fiber: real breathability, softness on the skin, and a radically reduced environmental impact.
Are the black shorts opaque even when moving?
The high-density Interlock knit (220+ GSM) ensures good opacity, even in deep flexion or inverted poses.
Are these shorts also suitable for Pilates, dance, or gentle fitness?
Absolutely. The mid-thigh cut, 4-way stretch, and absence of side seams make them perfectly suited for mat Pilates, barre, contemporary dance, or active stretching. And because they're black, they naturally fit into any studio dress code.
