How this cover-up compares on price and materials

• The inclusion of linen in the blend, though at 13%, enhances air permeability and absorbency compared to 100% cotton cover-ups while naturally resisting odor and becoming softer with each wash—attributes that elevate the garment’s comfort in humid beach conditions and extend its lifespan.
• This piece is a Simons exclusive designed in Canada, and it coordinates with a matching shirt (17303-215810) and pant (17303-216759) to assemble a full, cohesive beach outfit that multiplies the $39 CAD value into a complete look without approaching typical resort-wear pricing.
• Composed of 50% LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose, 37% organic cotton, and 13% linen, this shrug combines three sustainably sourced fibers in one garment—offering the drape of ECOVERO, the softness of organic cotton, and the breathability of linen—while costing less than many single-fiber organic cotton cover-ups like Quince’s $49.90 USD ($66 CAD) maxi dress, essentially giving the buyer more material value for the money.
• By using LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose—a fiber recognized for more responsible wood sourcing and lower environmental impact than generic viscose—rather than cheap polyester, the shrug delivers a sustainability credential usually reserved for higher-priced specialty lines, making it a standout for buyers seeking beachwear that aligns with eco values without the premium markup.

Sustainability credentials of the ECOVERO and organic cotton

• ECOVERO is the first viscose brand to achieve the EU Ecolabel for textile products (license AT/016/001), a multi-criteria Type I ecolabel that signals reduced environmental impact across the fiber’s entire lifecycle — setting it apart from unbranded rayon with unverified green claims.
• Every ECOVERO fiber carries a molecular marker that remains detectable after spinning, weaving, and dyeing, allowing brands and consumers to authenticate the fiber via Lenzing’s traceability platform — a built-in safeguard against greenwashing.
• The wood pulp for ECOVERO comes exclusively from forests certified by FSC or PEFC — third‐party schemes that verify responsible management and chain of custody — giving the shrug’s viscose a deforestation-free backstory that conventional rayon rarely provides.
• The ECOVERO viscose that makes up half the shrug is manufactured using at least 50% less water and generates at least 50% fewer carbon emissions than generic viscose, according to Higg MSI lifecycle assessment — so the fabric’s soft, flowing drape comes at a measurably reduced environmental cost.
• Because the 37% cotton portion is organically grown, it avoids the synthetic pesticides, synthetic fertilizers, and GMOs typical of conventional cotton farming — a meaningful shift considering that conventional cotton was the third most pesticide-intensive crop in the U.S. in 2019, with over 68 million pounds applied.
