MODAL FABRIC

Premium Modal & Rayon Printed Fabric

Modal is a soft, breathable, premium type of rayon spun from natural beech-tree pulp, prized for its silky feel, fluid drape, and ability to hold its shape and colour wash after wash.

Every order ships with free delivery, and cash on delivery is available on orders above ₹999.

Why choose modal fabric?

• Exceptionally soft & smooth — a silky, cool-to-the-touch feel often compared to fine cotton or silk.
• Breathable & absorbent — around 50% more absorbent than cotton, keeping you comfortable in warm, humid weather.
• Holds shape & colour — high wet strength means it resists shrinking, stretching, and fading far better than ordinary rayon.
• Beautiful drape — falls in soft, fluid lines, ideal for flowing kurtas, gowns, and sarees.
• Low-maintenance & ethical — easy to care for, biodegradable, and a longer-lasting, eco-friendlier choice.

What can you make with modal fabric?

Modal and modal satin are favourites for kurtas, dresses, gowns, tops, sarees, and dupattas, as well as loungewear and everyday ethnic wear.

Modal vs rayon, cotton & other fabrics

Modal is an upgraded, high-wet-modulus type of rayon — stronger and more shape-retentive than standard viscose rayon. Compared with cotton, modal is softer and more absorbent with a silkier drape; compared with silk, it offers a similar sheen and fluidity at a far friendlier price. It sits alongside Tencel (lyocell) in the family of soft, sustainable, plant-based fabrics.
