The fiber brand for natural softness

Like no other fiber, Lenzing Modal® stands for pure luxury and absolute softness next to the skin. The fiber is made of beech wood which means it is 100% from Nature. Even after repeated washing, Lenzing Modal® remains wonderfully soft, absorbent and brightly colored.
