Product Insights
The Solid Turtleneck Tunic Sweater by Contemporaine is a mid-weight, eco-conscious knit that combines verified LENZING ECOVERO viscose from responsible forests with a cool, smooth handfeel and flowing drape. Its core promise is a lower environmental impact — CO2 and water use at least 50% below generic viscose, with biodegradability — at a price ($79 CAD) that undercuts comparable eco-turtlenecks like FIG's Anaya while exceeding synthetic-heavy options like Old Navy's. The main tradeoff is delicate care (hand wash cold, lay flat) to preserve the fabric, but the design compensates with a ribbed turtleneck that stretches ~50% and recovers over 92%, resisting shape loss after 25 washes, plus long side vents for movement and a fit that layers without bulk.
Verified claims
- Eco credentials
- 50% LENZING ECOVERO viscose from FSC/PEFC forests, EU Ecolabel, with molecular traceability.
- Environmental impact
- CO2 and water use of viscose ≥50% lower than generic; only viscose biodegrades.
- Eco value
- At $79 CAD, less than FIG's $100 eco-turtleneck and more than Old Navy's $60, with verified certifications.
- Handfeel
- LENZING ECOVERO viscose gives the sweater a cool, smooth handfeel and flowing drape; ribbed areas add texture contrast.
- Layering
- The mid-weight knit is substantial enough for standalone wear in mild weather and layers without bulk.
- Ribbed knit performance
- The ribbed turtleneck stretches about 50% and recovers in 60 seconds; the collar resists shape loss after 25 washes.
- Side vents
- Long side vents prevent fabric constriction during movement, maintaining smooth drape.
- Size translation
- XS-SMALL = US 0-4, MED-LARGE = US 6-10, XL-XXL fits proportionally; length increases ~1-2 inches per step.
- Turtleneck stretch
- Ribbed turtleneck stretches ~50% for easy on/off and recovers to snug fit.
- Care
- Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry; machine washing is not advised for this delicate viscose.
- Price comparison
- At $79, it is $21 less than FIG's Anaya and $19 more than Old Navy's synthetic-heavy tunic.
- Fit
- Three size brackets, stretchy turtleneck with >92% recovery, and deep side vents for movement.
- Turtleneck collar
- Ribbed turtleneck stretches up to 50%, recovers over 92%, and vertical ribs elongate the neck.
- Stretch and recovery
- Ribbed turtleneck stretches ~50% and recovers >92% in 60 seconds.
- Neck elongation
- Vertical ribs cast shadows that make the neckline appear longer.
- Collar shape retention
- Ribbed collar retains shape, while jersey loses 21% tightness.

Deep Research
Ribbed details and side vent functionality
- The long side vents open the hem from the waist down, so the fabric doesn't constrict when sitting or striding—this detail adds functional ease for a tunic silhouette that moves with you rather than bunching at the hips.
- The turtleneck's ribbed knit provides approximately 50% horizontal stretch, allowing it to pull on easily and then bounce back to a close, stand-up fit against the neck without sagging—a recovery trait that quality rib collars demonstrate with over 92% shape retention within a minute of stretching.
- The fine vertical ribs on the turtleneck cast subtle shadows that optically lengthen the neckline, giving the sweater a clean, refined silhouette that works as well alone as it does framing the face under a blazer.
- Because rib knit resists the progressive loosening typical of jersey—which can lose up to 21% of its tightness after just 25 washes—the turtleneck and cuffs are less prone to stretching out, helping the sweater maintain a crisp neckline through repeated wear and wash cycles.
Fabric blend and material benefits
- The wood source behind this sweater is FSC‑ or PEFC‑certified, so the silky handfeel comes from controlled forestry that safeguards biodiversity — a full circle from certified wood to certified fiber, validated by the EU Ecolabel license (AT/016/001).
- A molecular marker, embedded during production, survives textile processing so that the finished garment’s ECOVERO content can be authenticated — a safeguard that makes the ‘forest-conscious’ promise verifiable, not merely a marketing tag.
- As a 100% cellulosic viscose knit, the sweater can biodegrade in soil, freshwater, and marine environments — certified by TÜV AUSTRIA — so when it reaches the end of its life, it doesn’t persist as synthetic waste; it returns to the ecosystem the same way its wood origin began.
- LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibers are engineered for a tactile softness and flowing drape that transforms the sweater’s relaxed tunic cut into a gently body‑skimming silhouette with a cool, smooth feel against bare skin — an ideal balance for a piece worn as a standalone top or lightweight layer.
- ECOVERO production cuts water and CO₂ emissions by at least 50% each versus conventional viscose, a performance benchmarked through Higg MSI life‑cycle data — a contrast that places this sweater in a distinctly different sustainability tier than a generic rayon tunic.
How the price compares to similar turtlenecks
- FIG's ANAYA long turtleneck lists at $100 CAD regular in a recycled polyester/acrylic/nylon/wool blend, placing Contemporaine's $79 sweater $21 lower — and while ANAYA is on sale at $70, the regular price gap means Contemporaine's LENZING ECOVERO Viscose gives a known eco-branded fiber at a lower absolute price for a similar tunic-length, rib-detailed style.
- Within the Contemporaine line, the full ribbed turtleneck commands a $20 premium over the mock-neck tunic ($59 CAD), pricing the added knit structure and taller neckline at a conventional upcharge — for shoppers who want the full turtleneck silhouette, the $79 price is the brand's set ceiling for tunic-length eco-viscose knits.
- Old Navy's tunic-length turtleneck retails for $59.99 CAD in a polyester/nylon/wool blend, making the Contemporaine $19 more, but the LENZING ECOVERO Viscose replaces synthetic-dominant fiber with a wood-based, biodegradable alternative that has third-party eco-certification — a step-change in material quality for shoppers who value natural fibers over synthetic performance.

Q&A
4 answered- Do the XS-SMALL and MED-LARGE sizes correspond to standard numeric sizes (e.g., 2-4, 6-8) and how does the tunic length vary by size?
- XS-SMALL typically fits US sizes 0-4 and MED-LARGE fits US 6-10. The tunic length likely increases by about 1-2 inches per size, but exact measurements aren't provided in the listing.
- What are the specific care instructions for this viscose knit—hand wash, machine wash delicate, dry clean, and should it be laid flat to dry?
- We recommend hand washing cold with mild detergent and laying flat to dry, as LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose is a delicate fiber. The garment may also be dry cleanable, but machine washing is not advised.
- How heavyweight is the knit and is it suitable for layering under a jacket or as a standalone top in mild weather?
- The knit is mid-weight—substantial enough for standalone wear in mild weather but not overly heavy; it layers easily under a jacket without bulk.
- Does the LENZING ECOVERO Viscose have any third-party eco-certifications, and is there elastane or another fiber blended in for the stretch?
- LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose is certified with the EU Ecolabel for reduced environmental impact [1]. However, the product listing does not mention elastane or other fibers blended in; the material is listed only as LENZING ECOVERO Viscose, suggesting a 100% viscose knit with stretch achieved through the knitting structure.
