Frequently Asked Questions
TENCEL™ Modal is a branded cellulosic fibre made by Lenzing from wood. Known for its exceptionally soft and smooth feel, it creates beautifully lightweight, fluid fabrics that feel gentle and comfortable against the skin.
TENCEL™ Modal fibres are made from wood sourced from controlled or certified sources. The wood is transformed into soft cellulosic fibres using Lenzing's specialised production process.
Because we're always searching for beautiful fabrics that feel wonderful on little ones. We love TENCEL™ Modal for its silky softness, breathability, lightweight feel and beautiful drape — a new kind of soft to complement our much-loved Bamboo + Organic Cotton.
Its smooth, soft hand-feel makes TENCEL™ Modal a lovely choice for clothing worn close to the skin. At KAYS+KINS, we use it to create comfortable everyday pieces designed for babies and growing little ones.
Yes. TENCEL™ Modal fibres support moisture management, and fabrics made with them can feel lightweight and breathable. That's one reason we love using Modal for comfortable everyday dressing, particularly in warm weather.
Both are beautifully soft, but they offer slightly different experiences.
TENCEL™ Modal: silky · smooth · lightweight · fluid
Bamboo + Organic Cotton: soft · cosy · breathable · comforting
Not necessarily — and we wouldn't want you to choose one because you think the other is inferior.
Our Bamboo + Organic Cotton remains one of our signature fabrics. TENCEL™ Modal simply gives us another beautiful material to work with, allowing us to select the fabric that best complements each design.
TENCEL™ Modal fibres are known for their smooth fibre surface and softness. In the right fabric construction, this creates the silky, fluid hand-feel that makes Modal so lovely to touch and wear.
TENCEL™ Modal fibres are known for maintaining softness over time. As with all delicate children's clothing, following the garment's care instructions will help preserve its softness, shape and appearance.
We recommend treating them gently:
- Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle
- Wash with similar colours
- Use mild detergent
- Avoid bleach
- Place delicate pieces in a laundry bag
- Avoid high heat
- Follow the individual garment care label for drying instructions
Some dimensional change can occur with cellulosic fabrics, particularly when exposed to heat. Following the KAYS+KINS care label and avoiding high-temperature washing and drying will help maintain the garment's original fit and shape.
TENCEL™ Modal fibres are made from wood sourced from controlled or certified sources and produced using processes designed to improve resource efficiency. Lenzing also reports high recovery rates for process ingredients in its Modal production.
For KAYS+KINS, it's another way for us to thoughtfully consider both how our clothes feel and how their fibres are made.
No. Modal is a type of cellulosic fibre, while TENCEL™ is Lenzing's trademarked fibre brand. TENCEL™ Modal refers specifically to Modal fibres manufactured by Lenzing according to its production and sourcing standards.
Not at all.
Our much-loved Bamboo + Organic Cotton isn't going anywhere. TENCEL™ Modal is simply the newest addition to our fabric family — giving your little ones another beautiful way to experience KAYS+KINS softness.
