Russian Viscose
Russian viscose fabric refers to viscose (also known as rayon in some regions) textiles that are produced or commonly used in Russia. Viscose is a semi-synthetic fiber made from cellulose – often derived from wood pulp – and is treated through a chemical process to produce a soft, silky fabric. While “Russian viscose” doesn’t necessarily denote a unique type of viscose, the term may be used to describe viscose fabrics that are either manufactured in Russia, have patterns or designs popular in the region, or are specifically treated to meet the preferences and standards of the Russian textile market. Viscose is valued for its silk-like feel, making it a popular choice for clothing and home textiles.
Properties

- Drapability: The fabric drapes well, allowing for graceful silhouettes in garments, which is particularly desirable in dresses and blouses.
- Color Richness: Viscose holds dyes well, resulting in vibrant colors and prints that are resistant to fading.
- Moisture Absorbent: It has good moisture-absorbing qualities, making it a good choice for summer wear.
