Lenzing will present its new Remod denim collection on October 14-15, 2026, at Kingpins Amsterdam. The collection features various garments woven at the Kaihara mill in Hiroshima.
Why it matters
Manufacturers are adopting the Tencel Lyocell HV100 fibre because it integrates into existing machinery without requiring additional capital investment. This efficiency enables broader production scalability for denim makers.
The Tencel Lyocell HV100 network has grown to 50 mills across 13 countries, including new facilities in India. The fibre utilizes Variocut technology to replicate the characteristics of cotton denim.
The players
Lenzing
An international company that produces wood-based specialty fibres for the textile and nonwoven industries.
Kaihara
A Japanese denim manufacturer based in Hiroshima known for its long-standing collaboration with fibre producers.
Kingpins Amsterdam
A biannual denim supply chain trade show that brings together manufacturers, designers, and brands.
The details
The Remod collection includes items such as menswear jackets, wide-leg jeans, stretch jeans, and shirting. These fabrics are created by combining conventional manufacturing methods with varying proportions of three specific Tencel Lyocell fibre types.
Timeline
The partnership between Lenzing and Kaihara dates back to the 1990s.
Lenzing first introduced the Tencel Lyocell HV100 fibre in October 2025.
The manufacturing network reached 37 mills in nine countries by April 2026.
The Remod collection will be presented at Kingpins Amsterdam on October 14-15, 2026.
Culture Shift
The adoption of Tencel Lyocell HV100 fibre reflects a broader shift toward integrating sustainable materials into legacy textile manufacturing infrastructure. This transition allows the industry to modernize its material output without discarding existing, functional machinery.
Consumers can expect to see garments made from this new fabric hitting the retail market following the upcoming exhibition. This could result in more accessible, stretch-capable denim options that maintain the feel of traditional cotton.
The takeaway
The growth of this manufacturing network demonstrates how technology can bridge the gap between traditional methods and modern sustainability requirements. Consumers looking for denim with consistent stretch and comfort may increasingly find products made using these standardized fibre types.
