Fluid, high-drape cloth that prints beautifully — the standard choice for abayas, dresses and flowing garments.
Viscose gives the fluid drape and cool touch of a natural fibre with the colour depth and price of a manufactured one. It is the fibre behind most of the drapey dress fabric, abaya cloth and lining-weight material we move.
We supply plain viscose, viscose crepe, viscose georgette and challis, plus viscose-blend fabrics such as viscose-nylon and viscose-elastane where stretch or more body is wanted. Printed viscose in digital and rotary is available from short runs upward.
Handle viscose with realistic expectations: it loses strength when wet and can shrink more than cotton, so garment-wash trials matter. We will send a sample for a wash test before bulk on any new quality.
