WHAT MAKES THE MODAL MATERIAL SO SPECIAL?

Many sustainable fashion brands rely on modal fabric. But what is the new trend fabric actually made of and what makes it so special?
Our PROMETHEUS COLLECTION consists mainly of the natural "miracle fiber" Modal. Modal is a chemically produced fiber with a natural origin that feels very special.
The modal fibers are obtained from the raw material wood. The fibers are made from cellulose (plant fibers), which is why vegans and allergy sufferers can also wear our clothing without any worries.
As a rule, beech wood is used for production, which is also a so-called "sustainable" wood. This means that the production of the fiber is ecologically acceptable and environmentally friendly.
"For processing, the wood is first debarked, then broken down into chips and the cellulose is then dissolved from the wood through chemical processes in order to process it into the material through a spinning process." https://www.cecil.de/glossar/Modal/
The advantages of Modal:
➕ haptics Anyone who has already worn our IKARUS collection knows how good the fabric feels on the skin. The clothing is crease-resistant and even has a cooling effect on the skin.
➕ BREATHABLE. The fabric allows for good moisture absorption, is durable and breathable, which makes it perfect for more demanding yoga practice or even for your workout. The moisture absorption of modal fiber is around 50 percent higher than that of cotton.
➕ THE LOOK. The look of the fabric is also special. The silky sheen gives clothing made of modal fabric an elegant look – even in the long term.
➕ SUSTAINABILITY. The production of modal is also more sustainable than other fabrics such as cotton because less water and energy are required in its production.
Our IKARUS outfit is made of modal, organic cotton, and small parts of elastane for the necessary flexibility. You can find out more about our outfit on our Explore page.
