Linen is a natural fibre from the flax plant: robust. We explain how linen is made, its properties, benefits and drawbacks, and how to care for it correctly.

Modal drapes silky-smooth, cotton is familiar. We compare both fibres in feel, sturdiness and care, and show when each suits you best.

kbA cotton (German: kontrolliert biologischer Anbau) is cotton grown to the EU organic standards (Regulation (EU) 2018/848): no synthetic pesticides, no artificial fertilisers, no GMOs. The main material in our cotton textiles is kbA or Cotton in Conversion (CiC). In the guide: definition, farming, CiC, comparison with modal and lyocell, care, and use in women's and men's ranges.

Lyocell is a cellulose fibre made from wood, typically eucalyptus or beech. We use TENCEL™ Lyocell from Lenzing, produced in a closed-loop process with over 99 per cent solvent recovery. In the guide: production, properties, comparison with modal and cotton, care, and how we use lyocell for women and men.

Modal is a cellulose fibre made from beech wood that drapes silky. We only use TENCEL™ Modal from Lenzing: FSC- and PEFC-certified beech, Eco Clean processing. In the guide: production, properties, comparison with cotton and lyocell, care.
