The Polyester Lycra fabric - Cairo 220 gr/m² features a vibrant gastronomic and natural-style design, reflecting festive elements such as candy canes, gingerbread cookies, and Christmas trees, in a color palette that includes Sage Green, Dark Red, and Seaweed. This festive and cheerful design brings a playful and cozy touch, ideal for making garments that aim to stand out during celebrations. Solid colors like White, Beige, or Gray can be perfectly combined, balancing the intensity of the print with neutral tones.

The fabric is printed with the one-sided digital textile design, which gives it a crisp and detailed look without losing the softness and elasticity characteristic of lycra. This printing process allows the colors to remain vibrant, highlighting the charms of the design without being overshadowed by a less elaborate textile finish.

The general characteristics of the fabric include its composition of 90% polyester and 10% elastane, which makes it a highly elastic and comfortable material. Its weight of 220 gr/m² provides resistance and versatility, ideal for both daily wear and sportswear. In addition, its chlorine-resistant finish and high UV protection of 50+ make this fabric an excellent choice for products exposed to sun and water, such as bikinis and swimsuits, or for garments that require greater durability.

The applications and uses of this fabric are wide. It can be used in lingerie, such as bodysuits or bras, thanks to its softness and elasticity that provide exceptional comfort. In fashion, it is ideal for knitwear and tops, bringing a contemporary flair. It is also suitable for creating scrunchies, a popular accessory, as well as for making sportswear, being suitable for children and adults in tops and swimsuits. The versatility of the fabric allows its use in numerous garments that require an attractive design and a perfect fit.

Regarding fabric care, it is essential to follow the instructions to maintain its quality and durability. Bleaching should be avoided, and maximum washing temperatures of 40ºC should be used. Although dry cleaning is allowed, trichloroethylene should be avoided, and ironing should be done at cool temperatures to avoid damaging the fiber. Furthermore, it is crucial to avoid tumble drying, as this can affect the elasticity and shape of the fabric.

The printing technology used for the manufacturing of this fabric is sublimation, a method that ensures the dyes are integrated into the polyester fiber. This process results in sharp images and vibrant colors that do not fade with use or washing. Sublimation is ideal for this type of fabric, as it allows the production of complex and detailed designs without altering the soft and elastic texture of the lycra, ensuring that each garment is not only aesthetic but also functional.
