How does it compare to regular viscose?
ECOVERO™ fabric has a significant advantage over traditional viscose, with 50% lower emissions and water impact during production, making it a more eco-friendly option. The fabric also offers a soft and flowy feel, similar to silk, making it luxurious and comfortable to wear.
Any special care instructions?
ECOVERO™ fabric care is similar to regular viscose. To avoid shrinking and prolong the life of your garments, it's recommended to hand-wash in cold or lukewarm water and air-dry in the shade. Ironing should be done inside out at a low temperature or with a steamer. High temperatures can harm the fabric, so it's important to avoid machine-drying and to take care when handling the garment when wet.
