The fabric in question, a soft crepe, is not only aesthetically appealing but also presents characteristics that make it functional. Its composition of 94% polyester and 6% elastane gives it remarkable elasticity and resistance, ensuring a fluid and comfortable drape when worn. Additionally, this fabric stands out for its weight of 180 gr/m², which gives it weight and durability, while its width of 150 cm allows for a wide variety of cuts and designs. The print, made using digital textile printing, is applied to only one side of the fabric, ensuring the integrity of the design on one side, which would allow the reverse to be kept in a solid or neutral color, ideal for accessories that require a more sober design.

Regarding its applications, the Riga Elastic Knit Crepe is perfect for a variety of garments for both men and women. It is used in the manufacture of dresses, jumpsuits, t-shirts, tops, skirts, and pants, providing comfort thanks to its elasticity and drape. It can also be applied to knitwear and cardigans that are ideal for changing climates. In the home, the fabric is suitable for table runners and lampshades, standing out in decorations that seek a modern and artistic touch.

Regarding fabric care, certain guidelines are recommended to preserve its quality: it should be washed at a maximum temperature of 40ºC, avoiding the use of bleach. Additionally, dry cleaning is allowed, except when it comes to trichloroethylene, and it can be ironed at a low temperature to avoid damage. For drying, it is best to use a dryer at a reduced temperature, thus ensuring that the fabric retains its structure and elasticity.

Finally, the printing technology used to manufacture this fabric is sublimation on polyester, a process that involves transferring special inks to the fabric using heat, creating a vibrant and durable finish. This method ensures that colors are sharp and resistant to wear, making it ideal for garments that require a great visual impact and are subject to frequent use. Sublimation not only offers an aesthetic finish but also allows the fabric to maintain its softness and flexibility, desirable characteristics for a fabric that seeks to combine style and comfort.
