Ideal Bite

In college, three of my best friends were Textiles majors. I never envied their days spent embroiled in math and chemistry exercises, but I did envy their ability to glean fabric info by touch. One of them literally felt her way through clothing shops, stopping to take a look only when some snip of luscious velvet or swath of superior cotton brushed her palm.

So a lot of modal blends are very soft to the touch, and while most affordable clothing wears like cotton knits – not so flattering on me – I can’t help but get excited about these new fabrics. In particular, I’m loving a lot of handbags made from weaves of recycled paper and plastics. I’m also really excited about seacell, a fiber that incorporates seaweed and that wicks moisture while supposedly infusing nutrients into your skin. Here’s hoping that sleeping in something as cute as these will eventually mean not having to swallow those horse-pill-size multivitamins in the morning.
