FABRIC

Vegan Cupro is a fabric made from recycled cotton or cellulose, with no animal-derived materials. It is a sustainable and eco-friendly fabric known for its silk-like softness, smooth texture, and lightweight feel. Thanks to its fluid structure, it gently drapes on the body, offering a comfortable sensation. Its texture, elegance, and sophistication create a refreshing feel, making it ideal for both casual and elegant wear. Additionally, its hypoallergenic properties make it a suitable alternative for sensitive skin. One of its key features is its biodegradability, and it has low chemical waste production. It does not require the use of bleach.

Our brand is committed to the principle of transparency and strives to contribute to sustainability as much as possible. However, there is a small amount of polyester in the inner labels of our garments. This is necessary for the section containing washing instructions. Additionally, polyester threads are preferred for their durability in sewing.
