- Cupro
A regenerated cellulose fiber produced by dissolving and spinning the fuzz of cotton seeds
A regenerated cellulose fiber produced by dissolving cotton linter, the fine fuzz surrounding cotton seeds, in a cuprammonium solution and spinning it. The surface is even and smooth, giving it a subtle luster and generating little static electricity. Because its touch is similar to silk, it is widely used as lining for jackets or as the shell fabric for items such as shirts and pants.

Cupra fabricCUPRO FABRICAppearance
The cross-section of the yarn is round and the surface is smooth, giving it a subtle and soft luster. When woven into fabric, it is not stiff but flexible, featuring the characteristic of draping naturally downward.
Use
Because it causes little friction and absorbs moisture well, it is widely used as lining for jackets and coats. Leveraging its surface texture and fluid silhouette, it is also used alone or blended as outer fabric for shirts, blouses, pants, and more.
Care
Dry cleaning is recommended because it weakens when in contact with water and carries a risk of shrinking. When hand-washing with water, it should be gently squeezed and washed in cold water with a neutral detergent, avoiding strong friction.
