This fine twill weave is made mostly of cupro, a material similar in its makeup to rayon but of superior quality, with a silky feel and appearance. Slightly velvety to the touch (like the skin of a peach), this fabric is cool and pleasant against bare skin. It has a moderately gentle drape. The fabric is reversible; one side has a matte finish and the other a slight sheen.
Cupro serge serves well as a sturdy lining for blazers, raincoats, and dresses, but also stands on its own for trench coats, jackets, and gathered skirts. It is so light that it gives garments a weightless quality.
Hand wash. Do not wring. Lay flat to dry. Cupro withstands higher temperatures, but if washed carelessly, it can stiffen and form obstinate creases. Dry iron at no higher than the cotton setting. This fabric is color-fast and withstands pilling.
Generally, pre-shrinking is needed for linen, cotton, and rayon, but for finer fabrics (light rayon, Tencel and modal) proceed with care – don't use hot water or a hot iron, simply launder the fabric the way you will be laundering the completed garment.
Most of our fabrics are one-time offers that last until they are sold out. However, some more popular items are always restocked or can be ordered on request. As a rule, this applies to notions, where the selection is pretty consistent, but may also include some types of fabric. Look at the product's availability value – it shows whether the goods are available while supplies last, in the core inventory or in a seasonal collection.
The goods in the seasonal collection come directly from our verified manufacturers. We change up the colors on offer from season to season but fabric quality is always constant. For large (wholesale) orders, colors that have been sold out can be reordered individually.
Limited editions are fabrics of exceptional quality or patterns that have been designed and produced exclusively under the Sartor brand. As a rule, they do not repeat and are therefore only available while supplies last. Don't miss your chance to own a true original.
