So soft. In fact, cupro is often used as a vegan and machine-washable alternative to silk because it’s smooth and drapes beautifully. Although it’s in the same family as rayon, it’s breathable like cotton. It’s lightweight, drape, and breathability make it ideal for warm weather.

Normally, cupro can be machine washed on a delicate cycle and hand washing is recommended for best results. Store on hangers rather than folded as they might crease.

To hand wash:

1. Use a mild detergent and use cold water.

2. Rinse thoroughly with cold water.

3. Afterward, roll up in a thick towel to remove water. Do not wring or twist the fabric.

4. Carefully reshape on a flat surface to air dry.

Silk-like fabrics may shrink slightly after washing and the surface can look a little matte. The best way to restore the fabric is to wash it cold and delicate, pull the length out afterward, hang it dry, and then iron inside out on low heat while pulling the fabric for about 5 mins on each side. This will get the length and the silky, peachy feeling back!
