Better than cotton
Modal silk is believed to be a more eco-friendly alternative for cotton as it uses 10 to 20 times lesser water in this production and also lesser land to thrive and prosper.
The beech trees are believe to grow by “Rejuvenation” and don’t need much tender love and care and the similar properties can be seen in a modal fabric.
Modal is a very sturdy fabric given its high intensity of molecular alignment this beauty also doesn’t shrink easily as a result of lesser surface tension and fibre properties.
