TENCEL™ MODAL

Behind The Seams

We're committed to integrating lower-impact materials into our supply chain, which is why we've been using TENCEL™ branded Modal fibres in our collections since 2021. We also understand the importance of transparency, so we’ve had all of our modal fabrics certified under strict guidelines, meaning you can be sure your product is made containing TENCEL™ Modal fibres.

What are Tencel™ Modal fibres?

TENCEL™ Modal fibres are derived from controlled or certified wood sources and made with at least 50% less carbon emissions and water consumption compared to generic modal.*

TENCEL™ Modal fibres help to retain the softness of fabrics even after repeated washing.

*Results based on LCA standards (ISO 14040/44) and available via Higg MSI (Version 3.8).

Washing Tencel™ Modal

Because of its fine, natural fibre structure, we recommend washing on a cold, gentle cycle or by hand, using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach and fabric softener, as these can affect the fibre's natural softness over time.

Do not tumble dry, air drying is best, and following recommended wash and care instructions found in the garment’s care label, along with avoiding high heat, helps preserve both the softness and longevity of your TENCEL™ Modal garment.

OEKO-TEX™ Certified

All of our collections made with TENCEL™ Modal fibres are manufactured at our in-house Bangladesh factory which is certified as STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX™. This certification confirms that the fabrics used have been tested for numerous regulated and non-regulated harmful substances.
