Sweet dreams are made of these. TENCEL™ Modal fibers are made from controlled or certified wood sources, support long-lasting softness, and the EU Ecolabel for environmental excellence*. TENCEL™ Modal fibers are certified as biodegradable and compostable. It's a win-win for you and Mother Earth. 
Get to know more about the fibers that make your iconic Gisele pajamas extra cozy.

TENCEL™ Modal fibers are made from wood, a natural and renewable raw material carefully sourced from responsibly managed forests. The wood taken from nature is purposefully balanced with forest growth rates, to ensure the continued availability of this valuable resource. 

The responsible production process of TENCEL™ Modal fibers uses at least 50% less water and emits at least 50% less CO2 compared to generic modal fibers*, thereby saving previous resources for future generations. The production process of these buttery soft fibers is based on a highly resource-efficient technology with high recovery rates of chemicals.**

These fibers support long-lasting softness and help to retain the softness of fabrics, even after repeated washing.

 
TENCEL™ Modal supports a natural dry feeling through moisture control, and supports rich colors in fabrics. These fibers also give fabrics a natural softness, making them feel pleasant against the skin.

 
TENCEL™ Modal fibers are certified with the widely recognized EU Ecolabel for textile products (license no. AT/016/001). This label is awarded to products that meet high environmental standards. Key criteria for evaluation include production processes limiting the usage of substances harmful to human health or the environment and minimizing key environmental impacts.
