Stretch Knit Crepe - Riga

The Stretch Knit Crepe Fabric - Riga is a textile characterized by its elegance and versatility. Its printed design stands out with a floral and vintage style that evokes nature, featuring flourishes in various multicolored tones that inject life and dynamism into any garment.

Technically, the Stretch Knit Crepe - Riga is a crepe fabric composed of 94% polyester and 6% elastane, which gives it elasticity and a pleasant feel, as well as a weight of 180 gr/m² that provides a delicate drape. The floral print, with its amalgam of colors, perfectly complements solid elements such as white, black, emerald green, or navy blue, offering multiple combination alternatives when planning a wardrobe.

It is worth noting that the fabric is printed with the design on one side using digital textile printing, which allows for a vibrant and detailed result, without the complexity of bidirectional printing. This highlights the quality of the design, allowing the flowers and vintage patterns to stand out in their splendor.

The general characteristics of this fabric are a strong point. Its elastic texture guarantees comfort and freedom of movement, which is ideal for various fashion applications. Garments made with this fabric include dresses and jumpsuits that hug the figure without restricting movement, t-shirts, tops, and skirts that are perfect for any occasion, as well as trousers and cardigans that offer both style and functionality. In addition, its use extends to home textiles in table runners and lampshades, where the floral design provides a captivating aesthetic touch.

Regarding care, it is essential to maintain the integrity of the fabric to ensure its durability and appearance. It is recommended not to bleach, wash at a maximum of 40ºC, and dry cleaning is permitted, except with trichloroethylene. Ironing should be done at a cool temperature to avoid damage to the print, and although it can be tumble dried, this should be done at a reduced temperature to preserve the fabric.

Finally, the printing technology used to manufacture this fabric is sublimation on polyester. This process involves transferring specific inks to the fabric using heat, which means that the ink particles are incorporated into the fabric fibers. As a result, a design is obtained that is not only vibrant and full of color, but also highly durable, resisting washing and the passage of time, maintaining its fresh and attractive appearance. Sublimation is ideal for synthetic materials, allowing the creation of complex and highly detailed patterns that are perfect for meeting current fashion trends.
