The story behind the Miiyu x Twik label

• The product carries a “designed in Canada” tag, signalling that style choices, fabric selection, and fit calibration were made by Simons’ in‑house team at the company’s Quebec City headquarters rather than adopted from an overseas factory template — a point of distinction that supports local creative control and a design sensibility tuned to Canadian comfort expectations.
• Twik launched in 1952 as Simons’ youth-oriented in‑house line and still carries a cult following more than 60 years later; Miiyu arrived in 2007, so the Miiyu x Twik capsule fuses a deeply established mass‑market heritage label with a newer, comfort‑focused brand — buyers get the benefit of decades of Canadian retail design experience applied to a modern loungewear aesthetic.
• Simons trademarked the Miiyu name in 2007, choosing a word that means “belle” in Japanese — an unusual cross‑cultural handle for a Canadian department-store private label, and one that gives the brand a deliberately soft, feminine identity rather than a purely utilitarian one.
• As a private‑label line owned by La Maison Simons, Miiyu x Twik is sold only through the retailer’s 15+ Canadian stores and simons.ca — the brand does not appear on marketplaces like Amazon, reducing ubiquity and reinforcing a curated, department‑store‑driven retail experience that is harder to find in the mass‑market loungewear space.
• Miiyu partnered with Le Germain Hotels — a Canadian 5‑star chain — to develop a loungewear collection where every fabric was chosen for softness, quality, and eco‑friendliness; that same standard of material scrutiny is visible in this t‑shirt’s use of LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose, extending the brand’s hospitality‑vetted comfort philosophy to a wider audience.

How the Lenzing modal blend feels and breathes

• Modal’s strong dye affinity means the pattern on this ecru tee will resist fading wash after wash much better than a cotton equivalent, keeping the soft, casual look crisp and avoiding that prematurely worn-out appearance common in cheaper loungewear.
• TENCEL™ modal’s fiber diameter is finer than cotton, which creates a smoother, cool-to-touch surface that wearers consistently describe as 'buttery'—for a sleep tee that means skin never feels the slight scratchiness that cotton can have after a few hours in bed.
• This exact blend—95% modal with 5% spandex—is the same fabric recipe used by premium loungewear brand Lake Pajamas in their DreamModal collection, where it’s praised for a silky softness, impeccable drape, and lightweight, non-restrictive wear that feels like a second skin.
• Modal fibers wick moisture roughly 50% more effectively than cotton, so this tee stays dry against the skin through the night instead of turning clammy during light sweat, a step-change in sleep comfort that cotton basics can't match.
• Despite its wet strength, 95% modal fabric has a known tendency to 'grow' or sag under constant tension and can pill in high-friction areas, so this tee demands gentle machine washing in cold and flat drying to maintain its drape and softness beyond 30 washes—hot water or aggressive drying will degrade the fibers quickly.
• Lenzing’s TENCEL™ Modal is made in a closed-loop process that recovers and reuses the solvent, sharply reducing chemical discharge compared to generic viscose—meaning this tee’s environmental footprint is significantly lower than a conventional rayon or cotton alternative while delivering that same buttery hand.
