Fabric guide/Modal

Modal — the quiet everyday.

A botanical fiber, spun and finished in a closed-loop process. Modal sits between silk and cotton — fluid, matte, breathable, and forgiving on the face.

Premium, Printed and Crinkle finishes. For mornings that ask for very little.

Modal fabric

The cloth

Modal is the cloth we return to most. Its weight asks nothing of the wearer: it folds without coaxing, drapes without slipping, and softens — never roughens — with every wash.

Our modal family centres on Premium Modal, a denser weave that holds a sharper silhouette for an evening cut, plus Printed Modal for quieter pattern days and the Crinkle finish we travel with.

What is modal?

The family

Inside the modal family.

  • Premium Modal

    Heavier hand, denser weave, a more structured fold.

  • Printed Modal

    Subtle prints set into the same soft modal base.

  • Modal Crinkle

    Pressed crinkle finish for a relaxed, textural fall.

Character

How it wears.

Hand

Liquid, never slippery.

Weighted enough to hold a wrap without pinning. Sits close to the face and falls long.

Light

Matte, low-lustre.

Reads as understatement under daylight; warms gently under evening light.

Wear

Day into evening.

Breathable for warm afternoons, considered enough for a softer occasion.

Season

All four.

Light enough to layer in summer, warm enough to wear alone through autumn.

Styling

Three quiet notes.

  1. 01

    Pair with a smooth undercap for the cleanest silhouette.

  2. 02

    Wrap once long, once short — let the longer end fall past the elbow.

  3. 03

    Pin only at the shoulder; let the drape do the rest.

Care

A long, quiet life.

Full care notes
  1. 01

    Cold hand-wash with a mild, pH-neutral detergent.

  2. 02

    Press water out between two towels — never wring.

  3. 03

    Lay flat to dry in shade. Iron low, on the reverse.
