Chinese origin - 100% Cupro. This fabric has a sandwashed finish, resulting in a soft and tactile washed look.

Cupro is a regenerated cellulose fabric created from waste from the cotton textile industry. We love this fabric as it has a similar feel and drape to silk, but is less delicate and much easier to take care of! 

Air out between wears. Cold gentle handwash or dryclean separately. Line dry in shade. Store on a padded hanger.
