Cupro (cuprammonium rayon) is a luxurious, silky vegan silk alternative—made from cotton linter (a cotton byproduct). It's celebrated for its:
-
Smooth drape and gentle sheen (like silk)
-
Eco‑friendliness—regenerated cellulose, biodegradable
-
Comfort—breathable, moisture-wicking, thermoregulating
For sewing or ready-to-wear lovers in the UK and USA, here are your top places to source cupro—with confidence.
