Product Insights

Contemporaine's Boxy Bell-Sleeve Raglan Sweater ($59 CAD, in stock, 4.9★) uses triple-verified ECOVERO viscose (50% less water/CO2) in a 50/28/22 viscose-polyester-nylon blend for improved shape retention, drying speed, and pilling resistance, with molecular traceability. Its raglan sleeves—originating from post-Battle of Waterloo one-armed dressing—reduce shoulder stress and soften the silhouette, while the bell sleeve's flowing drape and deep color saturation come from ECOVERO's dye uptake, at a $9 premium over the brand's basic boxy crew but 20-35% less than European ECOVERO knits. The tradeoff: though hand-wash lay-flat is required, the synthetic fibers make it dry faster and hold its shape, and the design narrows broad shoulders for a comfortable, breathable fit, meeting Simons' Vision sustainability criteria.

Verified claims

Verification
Triple-verified: EU Ecolabel, molecular fiber tracing, and Simons Vision program checks.
Environmental impact
ECOVERO viscose uses 50% less water and emits 50% less CO₂ than standard viscose.
Material
The 50/28/22 ECOVERO viscose-polyester-nylon blend improves shape retention, drying speed, and pilling resistance over pure viscose.
Fiber traceability
ECOVERO fibers in the blend carry a molecular marker for origin verification.
Heritage
Raglan sleeves originated from a design for one-armed dressing after the Battle of Waterloo.
Mobility
Raglan seam reduces stress and eliminates shoulder pull for full arm mobility.
Silhouette
Raglan sleeve traces the shoulder slope, softening the line and visually narrowing broad shoulders.
Raglan seam
Raglan seam balances the silhouette and enables free arm movement with the wide sleeve.
Sleeve structure
ECOVERO and polyester give the bell sleeve flowing drape and structure, with a ribbed cuff.
Color saturation
LENZING ECOVERO's dye uptake ensures deep color saturation for bell sleeves in bold hues.
Differentiation
Bell sleeve distinguishes this sweater from the basic Contemporaine boxy crew at a $9 difference.
Price comparison
At $59 CAD, undercuts European ECOVERO knits by 20–35% with same certified fiber, and costs $9 more than brand's budget sweater.
Sustainability
Meets Simons' Vision program for sustainable sourcing beyond ECOVERO.
Design
Bell sleeves and raglan seam soften the shoulder line for comfortable fit
Fabric performance
Stretchier, faster-drying, and more breathable than the basic sweater's recycled polyester blend
Care routine
Hand-wash lay-flat routine; dries faster and keeps shape thanks to synthetic fibers.
Raglan shoulder
Raglan seam narrows broad shoulders and prevents boxy cut from looking wide.
