Viscose as the ideal fiber for women's clothing
What material is viscose?
Viscose is one of the most used raw materials in the production of fabrics due to its softness, lightness and ease of mixing with other fibers.
Viscose production begins with cellulose taken from various trees such as beech, pine and eucalyptus
Is viscose natural?
Viscose is an artificial fiber of plant origin that can be obtained from the cellulose of a large variety of trees and plants, and is also biodegradable at the end of its life cycle. Precisely for this reason fashion brands often market it as a natural or even "ecological" fiber.
Viscose vs sustainability
Viscose production could begin to take place in a closed cycle, without chemical discharges into the environment, by recycling the chemicals used. Something that, combined with sustainable forestry, would make viscose a truly ecological option for the consumer.
Viscose 100%Made in Italy:
In the Como district there are companies that produce 100% Made in Italy viscose fabric, with good quality and attention to details.
The viscose fabric that is woven by the factories in the Como district gives the fabric a quality that even the final consumer can feel when wearing a scarf or a dress printed and packaged here.
The characteristics of viscose:
Continuous filament viscose is a particularly light and shiny fabric, soft, smooth and velvety to the touch. In contact with the skin it gives a pleasant sensation of freshness, similar to silk.
Viscose in staple called Modal is typically added to cotton, wool or linen to improve some qualities:
- greater tear resistance
- brighter colors
- preservation of shape and elasticity even after many washes
- high hygroscopic power
- resistance to the "pilling" effect
