Luisa dress in graphite

Description

The Luisa dress in graphite is made of a modal cashmere knit blend in Portugal. Modal fabric is breathable and silky smooth to the touch. It has an impressive resistance to shrinkage and pilling. In fact, Modal actually resists creasing and has a smooth lustrous finish. And since modal is both absorbent and breathable, it’s always cool to the touch. Couple that with the fabric pilling less and holding its colour when washed, this fabric is super popular. Modal fabric is therefore great in a garment like the Luisa dress in graphite, as it can be layered for winter and keep you cool in the summer.

The manufacturing process of modal involves spinning reconstituted cellulose from beech trees. Although the production for modal and viscose are similar, the resulting modal fibres are much stronger (especially when wet), but also lighter and more breathable. What’s more, modal is considered better for the environment than viscose, since less chemicals are needed to produce it. Modal is manufactured from a renewable crop, so the raw material is considered carbon neutral if it is taken from a responsibly managed source. The finished modal fabric is biodegradable.
