Know your Fabric: Modal, Cotton, Linen & More

In the world of fashion, fabric is more than just material — it's the soul of what you wear. At Inching India, we design with intention, selecting fabrics that feel as good as they look. Whether you're curating your everyday style or shopping for a breezy floral print kurta set, knowing your fabric helps you choose pieces that suit your lifestyle, comfort, and the Indian climate.

Let’s break down some of our favorite fabrics — modal, cotton, linen, and blends — so you know exactly what you’re slipping into.

Modal Fabric – Light, Luxe & Ideal for Summer

If you’ve ever touched something ultra-soft and flowy, chances are you’ve experienced modal fabric. It’s made from beech tree pulp and is known for being breathable, silky-smooth, and lightweight — perfect for Indian summers.

Modal Fabric Meaning: Think of modal fabric as the luxurious cousin of cotton — it’s smoother, more absorbent, and resists shrinkage.

Modal Fabric vs Cotton: While cotton fabric is crisp and breathable, modal takes comfort up a notch with its extra softness and fluid drape.

Why We Love It:

• Soft on the skin

• Doesn’t cling or trap heat

• Vibrant color retention for modal print fabric
  
  

Modal Fabric Advantages and Disadvantages:
✔️ Stretchy and breathable
✔️ Doesn’t wrinkle easily
❌ Slightly pricier than regular cotton

Perfect For:

• Lounge sets

• Flowy tunics

• Everyday tops 

✔ ️ Yes, modal fabric in summer is a dream.

Cotton Fabric – The Timeless Essential

You can never go wrong with cotton fabric. It’s breathable, versatile, and gentle on the skin — making it a must-have in every Indian wardrobe.

Types of Cotton Fabric We Use:

• Cotton muslin fabric – super lightweight and airy

• Embroidered cotton fabric – adds an artisanal touch

• Floral print cotton fabric – classic with a fresh twist

• Cotton flower printed fabric – subtle and elegant
  
  

Cotton Fabric Material is great for sensitive skin, all-day wear, and effortless layering. For warmer months, our printed cotton fabric in earthy tones and pastels is a customer favorite.

Cotton Blend Fabric: Blending cotton with other fibers like modal or linen gives added durability, softness, and texture — all while staying breathable.

Linen Fabric – Airy, Elegant, Always on Point

What is Linen Fabric?
Made from flax fibers, linen fabric is known for its natural texture and moisture-wicking abilities. It keeps you cool and adds effortless elegance to your look.

Linen Fabric Texture: Slightly grainy but breathable, linen feels luxe and relaxed — perfect for Indian summers.

Why Choose Linen Fabric?

• Gets softer with every wash

• Great airflow — ideal for heat and humidity

• Pairs beautifully with structured and flowy designs alike
  
  

We use:
