Why you should avoid synthetic clothing?
Hands off conventional sportswear!
Why Modal is better for your body and our environment?
Modal as sportswear offers numerous benefits for the body and the environment. It is softer, more comfortable and more breathable, which promotes a pleasant wearing experience and minimizes odor. From an environmental perspective, modal outperforms polyester due to its lower resource consumption, more environmentally friendly manufacturing process and better degradability. If you are looking for sustainable sportswear that is kind to both your body and the environment, Lounge Cherie is the best choice.
Here you can find all models at a glance:
Properties: Modal fiber VS Polyester
softness and comfort
Modal: Soft and pleasant on the skin, offers high wearing comfort
even when worn for longer periods.
Polyester: May cause skin irritation if worn for long periods and is less comfortable.
breathability
Modal: Very breathable, promotes a pleasant body climate and
prevents overheating.
Polyester: Not breathable, can cause irritation during intense activities.
lead to heat build-up.
odor formation
Modal: Less susceptible to odor formation, stays fresh longer and odorless.
Polyester: Retains odors because bacteria quickly settle in synthetic fibers.
moisture management
Modal : Absorbent and wicks away moisture well, ensuring a dry feeling.
Polyester : Can neither absorb nor release moisture. As the fabric is not breathable, sweat collects on the skin. Because no air can reach the skin, the sweat has difficulty drying.
resource consumption
Modal : Made from cellulose (beech wood), requires less water than cotton (closed cycle system) and can be produced using renewable energy.
Polyester : Made from fossil fuel-based petrochemical products and is energy intensive.
manufacturing process
Modal : Can be produced in an environmentally friendly way, especially when closed-loop systems are used that reuse chemicals and water.
Polyester : Produces greenhouse gases and is associated with high energy consumption.
degradability
Modal : Biodegradable, can be composted at the end of its life, thus protecting the environment.
Polyester : Is not biodegradable. It takes centuries to decompose naturally and therefore also contributes greatly to environmental pollution through microplastics.
sustainability of raw materials
Modal : Made from wood fibers sourced from sustainable forests. Low carbon footprint.
Polyester: Dependent on non-renewable fossil fuels.
It is important to us not only to bring environmentally friendly products into the world, but also to raise awareness of a sustainable lifestyle.
Our vision is to positively change the world of fashion, especially sports and loungewear, and create an alternative to things that are based on short-term pleasure and destroy us in the long term.
Let us let go of the old that no longer serves us well and choose a path together where we work with nature and not against it. A path that is characterized by harmony and solidarity, accompanied by a feeling of lightness and connection with nature.
