Caring for ECOVERO to extend the sweater’s life

• LENZING ECOVERO Viscose is best washed in cold or lukewarm water (30°C) on a delicate cycle, as hot water can harm the fibers and cause the color to fade — keeping it colder extends the charcoal hue's depth and the knit's elasticity.
• Because LENZING ECOVERO fibers swell and can contract when wet, laying the sweater flat to dry after gently reshaping it back to its original dimensions is critical for preventing permanent shrinkage and maintaining the fitted waist and ribbed waistband.
• A garment steamer is an even safer way to release wrinkles and restore the sweater's shape, as it avoids direct pressure on the knit and the risk of overheating the delicate brushed surface.
• Storing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight prevents the viscose from yellowing or weakening, and using padded hangers or folding neatly avoids stretching out the ribbed waistband and boat neck over time.
• Wringing or crushing the sweater after washing can distort its shape; instead, rolling it in a towel to remove excess water and then laying it flat on a dry towel preserves the brushed texture and prevents the fitted silhouette from becoming misshapen.
• If the sweater requires ironing to look new again—especially after the contraction from washing—a low-to-medium iron placed over a thin cloth prevents scorching the viscose fibers and revives the smooth, brushed finish without adding shine.
• Using a mesh laundry bag during machine washing shields the brushed knit from the friction that can cause pilling, especially when combined with the recommendation to avoid overloading the drum and to keep towels separate.

How this sweater compares on price and value

• Fiorella Rubino prices its LENZING ECOVERO sweaters between €49 (V-neck, roughly CAD 73) and €75 (boat neck, roughly CAD 110); at CAD 59, the Icône sweater slides in well below even the entry-level option while delivering a belt and cap sleeves — a design detail unavailable in the Fiorella Rubino range.
• The Icône sweater's CAD 59 price is notably less than Monsoon London's $79 USD plain V-neck LENZING ECOVERO viscose sweater — the difference covers the cost of a coordinating belt and cap-sleeve construction that the Monsoon piece entirely lacks.

What LENZING ECOVERO Viscose brings to the fabric

• LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose is certified with the EU Ecolabel (license AT/016/001), an official recognition that the fiber meets strict environmental criteria throughout its production, so the sweater’s material story is backed by a public standard rather than an unverifiable ‘eco’ tag.
• Every ECOVERO fiber contains a molecular marker that survives yarn spinning and knitting, allowing Lenzing to authenticate the material even in finished garments — so the sweater’s fiber claim isn’t just a hangtag promise; it can be verified at any point in the supply chain.
• ECOVERO viscose is known for strong color saturation — the charcoal hue on this sweater benefits from the fiber’s ability to absorb and hold dye deeply, so the color is richer and more resistant to fading than on many synthetic-blend knits.
• Lenzing’s life-cycle assessment (via Higg MSI) shows that LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose production consumes at least 50% less water and emits at least 50% less CO2 than generic viscose, meaning this sweater’s environmental footprint is cut nearly in half compared to the same garment made from standard viscose — a tangible sustainability advantage at the same price tier.
• Standard LENZING™ Viscose fibers (the base of ECOVERO) hold TÜV Austria certifications for biodegradation in soil, freshwater, and marine environments, and for home and industrial compostability, so at the end of its wearable life the sweater fiber can break down naturally rather than persist as microplastic pollution.

The Icône brand and its place at Simons

• Simons has been a fashion authority since its founding in 1840 and today offers a slate of exclusive private labels — Icône inherits this 180-year legacy, so this sweater is backed by a retailer with deep institutional fashion credibility rather than a transient brand.
• Icône is explicitly positioned as Simons' in-house brand for playful, youthful clothes with a more accessible price point than luxury fashion — placing this sweater within a line engineered to deliver trend-responsive style without the designer markup.
