Care guide: Clothing

Cupro

Cupro is a regenerated cellulose fiber with a silky, soft feel. The beautifully drapey cupro fabrics are lightweight, breathable and non-static. For optimal wear, choose a relaxed fit to minimize stress on the seams. To ensure the best care for your cupro garment, always follow the provided care instructions.

Color shades

Color shades

The peachy soft surface of cupro fabric reflects colors softly and vibrantly. It’s natural for cupro to have slight variations in shade, appearing darker or lighter in different areas. Over time, the fabric may develop shinier spots. Avoid abrasive bags and accessories that can damage its delicate surface.

Strong colors

Strong colors

Cupro garments may release color, especially during the first few wears and washes. Wash dark and strong-colored items separately in plenty of water. Dark cupro clothing may fade in color with use and washing.

Washing

Check the care label for the correct washing method and temperature. A line under the wash symbol indicates a gentle wash cycle and a low spin speed. Wash cupro garments inside-out to minimize stress on the fabric and preserve colors.

After washing

Gently reshape cupro garments after washing and hang them to dry. The garment may shrink slightly in the first wash.

Ironing

Ironing

Ironing cupro garments after washing restores their smoothness and softness. Cuprois best ironed when slightly damp. Always iron inside-out to avoid shiny marks. Ironing also helps the garment return to its original shape, though slight shrinkage is normal.

Steaming vs. ironing

Steaming vs. ironing

Ironing is preferred over steaming for cupro garments. Steaming can cause water droplets to fall on the fabric, leaving dark spots. These spots are not permanent and will disappear after washing.

Chemicals

Oils and sprays can leave marks on cupro clothing. Avoid direct contact with perfumes, cosmeticsor hair products. Allow these products to dry on your skin before putting on cupro clothing.

Storing

To prevent unnecessary wrinkles, we recommend storing your cupro garments on a hanger in an airy space or folding them gently.
