Cupro

Cupro is the European cousin of tencel, and it is a bit difficult to find a lot of information on this fabric. Cupro is somewhat similar to rayon in that it is reprocessed cellulose, but cupro is much more like tencel: Please see the Tencel main page for general information on this fiber.

Cupro gets its name from cuprammonium that is used to process the wood pulp or cotton linters that are the base material for cupro. Like tencel, the base material for cupro is a regenerated cellulose fiber, and the fabric breathes like cotton, drapes beautifully, and feels like silk on your skin. An elegant fabric.

Cupro is not synthetic, nor is it a man-made fabric. It is considered a regenerated fabric, in other words, it is reclaimed from natural products.

Uses

Cupro is more expensive than most of the tencel we carry, but it is quite a bit finer in texture and feel. Its slinky, curve-hugging drape makes it great for elegant dresses and blouses. Feels like silk, launders like cotton. See the Tencel pages under fabric care for more info on laundering tencel and cupro.

The cupro that we carry is expensive, but it is luxurious and simply exquisite . We think it is worth it, and we carry what we can find.
