Unlike polyester, Rayon is highly absorbent & highly breathable – ideal for cool summer dresses & high-quality jerseys where breathability is essential for ease. Rayon also prevents sweat marks on your shirt by absorbing it into tiny micropores in the fibres themselves – locking it away.

‘Clothes made of Rayon can be washed in temperatures of up to 40° C – but since Rayon does tends to shrink at high temperatures we recommend you strictly follow the washing temperature as indicated on the wash care label inside the product. Do not tumble dry Rayon – it dries very quickly. We recommend shaking the wrinkles out & hanging it out to dry.’
