GENESIS Core Tee: Our First Bamboo Lyocell T-Shirt, Still an Everyday Favourite
Finix began with a simple idea: everyday clothing should feel as good as it looks. Our first-ever product, the GENESIS Core Tee, brought that idea to life - a soft bamboo lyocell T-shirt designed for everyday comfort, easy styling and life in Singapore’s tropical heat.
What customers noticed first was the feel. Buttery soft, smooth and cool against the skin, it quickly became a crowd favourite. Soon, customers were returning for another colour - or another tee in the same colour, so their favourite was always within reach.
Why we chose bamboo lyocell
If you’ve experienced the softness of bamboo-derived bedsheets or baby clothing, you’ll understand what drew us to this fabric. We wanted that same comforting feel in a T-shirt you could wear out into the world.
Bamboo lyocell is a regenerated cellulose fibre made using bamboo pulp. We chose it for its smooth touch, fluid drape and moisture-absorbing properties, bringing softness and ease to an everyday essential.
For anyone looking for a breathable T-shirt for hot weather, comfort involves more than choosing the thinnest fabric. The GENESIS Core Tee pairs soft, moisture-absorbent fabric with a relaxed fit that gives your body room to move. It’s an easy companion for humid days in Singapore and Southeast Asia, summer holidays and everyday city living.
Softness with a little more substance
We deliberately chose a slightly heavier fabric to give the tee more body and structure while retaining its supple feel.
That extra substance helps it fall smoothly rather than cling to every contour, offering more coverage and helping reduce nipple show-through compared with thinner fabrics. The result is an everyday T-shirt that feels substantial, with a relaxed silhouette that works worn loose, tucked in or layered.
The tee customers kept coming back for
Comfort brought people in. Versatility kept them coming back.
With its gender-neutral fit and clean crew neckline, the GENESIS Core Tee became a dependable wardrobe foundation. Pair it with shorts for a slow weekend, wide-leg trousers for an elevated everyday look, or our Harem Joggers and Noragi Jacket for relaxed, Japanese-inspired styling.
It leaves room for your own expression, whatever your wardrobe looks like.
Our first tee continues to represent what Finix stands for: comfort, freedom of movement and clothes you can feel yourself in.
