Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Primera and our fabrics
The Brand
Most clothing brands compete on logos, trends, and marketing. Very few obsess over the fabric itself. At Primera, the fabric is the product. We spent months sourcing, testing, and washing dozens of fabrics before selecting the ones that made it into our collection. The result is clothing that feels noticeably different the moment you put it on.
The Primera Tee and Henley are crafted from a premium Modal blend — a plant-based fibre derived from beech tree pulp, known for its exceptional softness, breathability, and shape retention. The Primera Trousers and the entire Motion collection are made from a premium Bamboo blend — highly breathable, moisture-wicking, and smooth against the skin. Each fabric is selected with one question in mind: would we genuinely choose to wear this ourselves?
We wanted clothing that genuinely felt better to wear every day. Modal and bamboo blends offered a level of softness, breathability, and comfort that synthetic fabrics simply could not match. Beyond performance, they align with our belief that what touches your skin every day should be thoughtfully chosen.
Modal Blend — Primera Essentials
Applies to The Primera Tee and The Primera Henley
Modal is a plant-based fibre derived from the cellulose of beech trees. Our Modal blend is engineered for exceptional softness, breathability, and shape retention — giving you a fabric that feels noticeably different from the moment you put it on.
Modal fibres have a finer, smoother structure than cotton fibres. This gives the fabric a naturally silky hand feel that cotton cannot replicate. It also drapes more elegantly and feels lighter against the skin.
Our fabric goes through repeated washing and relaxation cycles at the mill before a single garment is cut and sewn. This pre-conditioning process stabilises the fabric so your Primera piece maintains its fit and shape wash after wash, with only minimal shrinkage within normal industry standards.
Yes. One of Modal's most valued qualities is that it maintains — and in many cases improves — its softness over time. Unlike some fabrics that feel great initially but deteriorate quickly, our Modal blend is designed to last.
Modal fibres have excellent dye uptake due to their smooth fibre structure, meaning colour is absorbed deeply and evenly. We work with mills that use high-quality dyeing and finishing processes to ensure your Primera pieces retain their richness wash after wash. Wash in cold water, turn inside out, and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or harsh detergents.
With proper care, your Primera piece is built to comfortably withstand 100+ washes — approximately 2 to 4 years of regular weekly wear.
No. Modal is derived from beech tree pulp and is not a petroleum-based synthetic fibre. Unlike polyester or nylon, it does not shed plastic microfibres during washing.
Not with proper care. Our garments are engineered with a knit construction and finishing process specifically designed to maintain structure and drape over time.
Bamboo Blend — Motion & Trousers
Applies to The Primera Trousers, Motion Training Tee, and Motion Training Tee Pro Fit
Our Bamboo blend combines bamboo-derived fibres with carefully selected materials to create a fabric that is highly breathable, moisture-wicking, and smooth against the skin. It is designed to feel elevated while performing reliably through movement and daily wear.
We wanted the Motion collection and Trousers to feel as good during activity as they do the rest of the day. Bamboo brought the breathability and moisture management needed for movement, with a softness and natural feel that synthetics cannot replicate.
This depends more on colour than fabric. The bamboo blend is highly moisture-wicking, meaning it actively moves sweat away from the skin rather than letting it sit on the surface.
Our bamboo blend fabric goes through repeated washing, relaxation, and stabilisation at the mill before production. This significantly reduces post-purchase shrinkage and helps your pieces maintain their intended fit through regular wear.
Yes. Our Bamboo blend maintains its softness well over time. Proper finishing and quality manufacturing preserve that smooth hand feel even after repeated laundering.
With proper care, your Primera piece is built to withstand 100+ washes — roughly 2 to 4 years of regular weekly wear.
