Kupfer 715 is a warm orange with a reddish lean – muted enough for everyday wear, yet with a glow to it. Next to naturals, browns or navy the colour stays calm; used across a whole dress it gains depth.
At 220 g/m² Vanessa sits in the medium-weight range: the surface lies flat, covers well and drapes softly along the body without pulling down. The handle is smooth and slightly cool, as you would expect from cotton. The 5% elastane gives the fabric recovery – it stretches mainly across the width and springs back into shape, which helps at cuffs, knees and elbows.
Vanessa is Swafing's plain jersey range, 155 cm wide and certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100.
What Vanessa Kupfer is suitable for
- Shirts, long sleeves and dresses, since 220 g/m² makes the jersey opaque and gives it a soft drape.
- Children's clothing and bodysuits, as 95% cotton feels good against the skin and the fabric is certified to Oeko-Tex Standard 100.
- Leggings and cycling shorts, because 5% elastane provides stretch and recovery.
- Patterns with wide pieces, as the 155 cm width leaves room for skirt panels or raglan sleeves.
Sewing tips
- Vor dem Zuschnitt waschen
- Kombination mit Heike-Bündchen im gleichen Farbcode für Bündchen und Halsausschnitte.

Frequently asked questions
Is this jersey opaque enough for a dress?
Yes. At 220 g/m² Vanessa is a medium-weight jersey and covers well in Kupfer 715. For very close-fitting styles it is still worth holding a test piece up to the light first.
How stretchy is the fabric?
The 5% elastane gives the jersey elastic stretch with good recovery. Stretch across the width is noticeably stronger than along the length, so keep the grainline in mind when cutting out.
Should I prewash the fabric?
We recommend it: residual shrinkage is 5%. Wash at 30 degrees and iron on a low setting. Do not bleach and do not tumble dry.
Will the colour match other fabrics with colour code 715?
Yes. The Vanessa colours run true to Maike (French terry) and Eike (brushed sweat). Same colour code means the same shade, so a shirt and a jacket match without any colour deviation.
