The Eta Top is an elevated staple, crafted from a silky blend of verified Carbon Neutral TENCEL™ and ECOVERO™ Viscose - both ELK environmentally-preferred fibres. The round neckline is complimented by gathered detail panels across the chest, and back. The Eta Top features a dropped shoulder which extends into capped sleeves. Styled casually with the Arbet Jean, or corporate with the Allt Skirt, the Eta Top will be a pillar of your wardrobe.
63% Carbon Zero TENCEL™ 37% ECOVERO™ Viscose
TENCEL™ Lyocell Carbon Zero* and LENZING™ ECOVERO™ Viscose are man-made cellulosic fibres (MMCF), derived from wood pulp. They create a silk-like feel, fluid drape and comfortable breathability.
TENCEL™ Lyocell fibres follow an environmentally responsible, closed loop production process, which transforms wood pulp into cellulosic fibres using high resource efficiency and low environmental impact compared to conventional methods of production. The spinning process recycles process water and reuses the solvent at a recovery rate of more than 99%.
LENZING™ ECOVERO™ fibres are recognised by CanopyStyle and EU Ecolabel certification as meeting high standards for environmental practice. This includes a low risk of sourcing raw materials from ancient or endangered forests, and the recycling of water and chemicals in the processing stages. According to Higg's life cycle impact assessment data, LENZING™ ECOVERO™ branded viscose fibres generate up to 50% lower emissions and water impact compared to generic viscose.
*We have not highlighted the carbon neutral attribute of this fibre as ELK has transitioned away from offsetting it's emissions and instead focuses on investing in projects that will deliver more direct and positive environmental impact for the business. Our choice for this fibre is based on the attributes highlighted in the description and not on carbon neutrality.

The Eta Top is a regular fit bust with flares into a slight A-line shape to the hem. The top is slightly shorter than standard body-length.
The key fit points of the garment are the bust and body-length.
All garments are measured flat (not on body) and then doubled (except the length) to calculate the total circumference. To work out what size will suit you best, flat measure an item that fits you well and use this as a guide. Please contact us if you have any questions or need more information.
