What can you make with plain rayon fabric?

Plain rayon is a versatile base for kurtas, salwar suits, dresses, sarees, dupattas, and dress material, and it works wonderfully for block printing, dyeing, and embroidery. If you prefer ready prints, explore our modal & rayon prints for floral, bandhej, and contemporary designs.

Rayon vs modal, cotton & other fabrics

Rayon (also called viscose) is the original regenerated-cellulose fabric — silky and affordable, with a lovely drape. Modal and Tencel are upgraded members of the same family, offering extra strength and shape retention. Compared with cotton, rayon is silkier and drapes more fluidly, while cotton is more hard-wearing — which is why the two are often blended for everyday comfort.
