Tencel® in Rainbeau Mars Yoga collection

Yoga expert, Rainbeau Mars, has joined forces with Adidas and created a signature line.
Her yoga wear clothing became available in selected specialist stores and Adidas Sports Performance Stores in March 2009. Rainbeau’s clothes are soft, comfortable and brightly colored. The collection has a distinct Indian flair and is dominated by intense purple, bright orange and earthy brown tones. Due to the eco-friendly process and the sustainable materials used, the collection is part of the Adidas “Better Place” program. This consists only of products using sustainable raw materials that are made without dangerous chemicals. In addition, the highest possible workplace standards must be adhered to with established waste and energy management systems. Naturally, TENCEL® is used as an ideal material.
