Textile:

‘We hand-picked this luxurious fabric and love it because it has a nice drape, lustrous finish and soft feel. As a plant-based fibre, it is also highly absorbent and highly breathable – ideal for clothing where breathability is essential for ease.’

 

What is Viscose?

Viscose Yarn is produced from cellulose derived from premium wood pulp. These are the most significant properties of Viscose:

•  Luxurious Feel: Its silky, soft texture imparts a luxurious feel to garments, elevating their overall appeal.
• Drape and Flow: The inherent drape of viscose yarn lends garments a graceful and elegant look.
• Breathability: The fabric allows air to circulate, keeping the wearer cool and comfortable.
• Moisture Absorption: Viscose yarn effectively wicks away moisture, enhancing comfort.

 

‘We often choose to work with Viscose because…

Viscose yarn is continuous, resulting in smoother, more lustrous fabrics. Its ability to mimic the feel and drape of natural silk, has made it a coveted choice in fashion design. Its exceptional drapability makes it an ideal choice for creating flowing garments like dresses, skirts, and blouses. Its ability to absorb dyes beautifully allows for a wide range of colours and prints, making it a designer’s dream.

 

As a plant-based fiber, Viscose is highly absorbent & highly breathable – ideal for high-quality garments where breathability is essential for ease. Viscose also prevents sweat marks by absorbing it into tiny micropores in the fibers themselves – locking it away.’

 

How to care for my Viscose garment?

‘Clothes made of Viscose can be washed in medium temperatures – but since Viscose does tend to shrink at high temperatures, we recommend you strictly follow the washing temperature as indicated on the wash care label inside the product. Do not tumble dry Viscose – it dries very quickly. We recommend shaking the wrinkles out & hanging it out to dry.’

 

Does Viscose Rayon shrink & bleed colour?

‘As it is a natural fabric – you should expect your Viscose garment to shrink a bit during the first wash. If you follow the specific garment’s wash care instructions, you should not have any challenges.’

 

Why is Viscose clothing more expensive?

‘Viscose is no longer a cheap fabric as it is imported & subject to large duties, so clothes made from it can sometimes cost more than linen or cotton.’
