Form with Function — The Story Behind Stretchcosy™ Fabric

By Sensibilities Team

A closer look at the fibers that define comfort, protection, and performance at Sensibilities.

 

At Sensibilities, fabric is never an afterthought. Every textile we select is the result of research, testing, and intent. First introduced in 2019, Stretchcosy™ Jersey fabric innovation was born from the union of Sorona® and EcoCosy® — answering industry calls for softer, more durable and sustainable performance fabric. With its blend of 72% EcoCosy® and 28% Sorona®,  Stretchcosy™ brings together the best of comfort, performance and sustainability.

 



Component 1: EcoCosy® — New-generation Viscose Fibers

EcoCosy® is a new-generation fiber created from sustainably sourced wood pulp. Its strength lies in its natural softness and breathability, giving the fabric a featherlight feel against the skin. Unlike conventional viscose, EcoCosy® fibers are engineered for enhanced durability and shape retention despite its buttery softness, making them a sustainable choice without compromising comfort and quality.

 

 


 

Component 2: Sorona® — The Stretch Fiber Replacing Spandex

The Sorona® component is a breakthrough bio-based fiber, quickly replacing Spandex as the stretch fiber of choice for its superior qualities. Unlike Spandex, which can degrade over time, Sorona® fibers are engineered for durability while maintaining a silky hand feel. In Stretchcosy™, Sorona® gives garments their sculpting effect: pieces hold their silhouette after countless wears and washes, resisting sagging and distortion.

 

 



Superior Everyday Performance — A Fabric as Useful as it is Beautiful

Beyond touch and drape, the Stretchcosy™ fabric is also OEKO-TEX® certified for safety and skin-friendliness, making it gentle even on sensitive skin. The fabric is machine-washable, wrinkle-resistant, and lab tested for UPF50+ sun protection, woven into its dense fibers. This means it doesn’t just look refined — it protects and performs, staying reliable through the realities of everyday life.
