Rayon Challis Fabric from France in Mimosa

Mimosa, a rayon challis fabric from France, evokes the bright flowers and honeyed scent of the Mimosa tree, which grows along the seaside roads of the French Riviera. Set against a cream background, this Mediterranean-inspired fabric features cheerful yellow clusters of flowers along deep blue-purple stems. Lightweight with a smooth hand and fluid drape, this would make a lovely dress or skirt, or playful blouse to be worn over shorts.

Rayon challis is a fine, lightweight, woven fabric with very fluid drape and a slight sheen. It has a texture similar to silk and is highly breathable, making it great for summer dresses, skirts, and blouses. Rayon fibers are made from the cellulose of trees. While the cellulose must be processed to be turned into fabric, it is derived from natural, non-petroleum sources and is fully biodegradable.

One reason we love this fabric is how human and eco-friendly it is. The rayon fibers are made with pulp from Forest Stewardship Council certified woodlots and the fabric is Oeko-Tex STeP certified, which not only ensures it is free of toxic chemicals, but that it also made with the wellness of workers in mind.
