Modal – the fabric of the future for comfort and sustainability
When we talk about the perfect balance between comfort, quality, and sustainability, we keep coming back to one of our customers’ favorite fabrics – modal. Although it might sound like something new, this material has been around for decades and has rightly earned the reputation of being the “luxury version of cotton.”
What is modal?
Modal is a natural fiber derived from the cellulose of beechwood. Thanks to a special processing method, it is softer, more durable, and smoother than regular cotton. Another advantage is that it hardly loses color or shrinks during washing, meaning modal garments stay looking new for a long time. Modal is often referred to as an eco-friendly material because its production uses less water and the fibers come from renewable sources.
Benefits of Modal fabric
✨ Exceptional softness – silky feel on the skin, suitable even for sensitive skin.
✨ Excellent moisture absorption – up to 50% better than cotton, keeping you dry and fresh.
✨ Durability – fibers retain their shape and color even after many washes.
✨ Breathability – ideal for everyday wear, sports, and leisure moments.
✨ Eco-friendly – fibers are sourced from sustainable origins, making modal kinder to the planet than many other fabrics.
Why is Modal special?
Modal is not just an alternative to cotton – it’s an upgrade. It’s lightweight yet strong, often used in sportswear and lifestyle fashion. Thanks to its natural elasticity, it adapts to the body and provides complete freedom of movement. Moreover, modal garments retain fewer unpleasant odors, making them perfect for active wear. That’s why it has become one of the most sought-after fabrics in sustainable fashion.
