This design offers a nostalgic and romantic aesthetic, ideal for a variety of products in both fashion and home textiles. It is recommended to combine it with solid colors such as white, beige, or even terracotta and olive green tones that accentuate the nature of the print without detracting from its prominence. It should be noted that this fabric is printed with the design on one side using digital textile printing, which guarantees an impeccable and high-quality finish, with no printing on the back.

In terms of general characteristics, the fabric stands out for its softness and elasticity, inviting comfort and freedom of movement. This composition of 81% polyester, 15% acrylic, and 4% elastane ensures durability and wear resistance, while its weight of 239 gr/m2 provides an ideal body, balancing lightness and warmth for the winter and autumn/winter seasons. The printed design integrates perfectly into the texture, creating a visual effect that stands out in various garments and items. The applications and uses of this fabric are wide, starting with its relevance in fashion, where it can be used to make lingerie, pajamas, sweaters, tops, as well as dresses and cardigans. In addition, its versatility extends to home textiles, being suitable for blankets in the living room or bedroom, table runners in the dining room, and accessories such as scarves, hats, and mufflers that add a distinctive touch to any outfit, making it an excellent option for childrens fashion and knitwear.

It is important to consider specific care to preserve the quality and integrity of the fabric. It is recommended not to bleach and to wash it at a maximum temperature of 30ºC. Dry cleaning is possible, except with trichloroethylene, and it should be ironed at a cool temperature. The tumble dryer is completely ruled out, as the fabric could be damaged. These measures will ensure that both the texture and the design of the fabric remain intact and vibrant over time.

Finally, the printing technology used in the manufacture of this fabric is sublimation, a method that consists of transferring specific inks to paper and then applying heat and pressure to the fabric. This allows the inks to turn into gas and integrate into the polyester fibers, resulting in bright and durable colors that do not fade easily. Sublimation is especially suitable for polyester, as this type of fiber absorbs ink effectively, ensuring that the print remains true to its design and with excellent resolution, thus highlighting the visual beauty of its floral motifs.
