Modal is a substance that is manufactured using a chemical process, but is a 100% natural product in its basic materials. Modal fabric is made from cellulose fibers, which are mostly derived from beech wood. The production of this fabric is sustainable and ecologically justifiable. Modal is similar to viscose in its basic chemical structure, but is produced using a different spinning process. Modal is basically a further development of the much older viscose.

It also impresses with a pleasant skin feel and a long-lasting, fine shine. The fibers of the modal fabric ensure optimal moisture absorption.
