Cotton offers excellent resistance to washing, dirt and heat; its dimensional stability makes it one of the most useful fabrics in the manufacture of clothing.
Garments made of cotton are non-allergic. They are extremely cool and comfortable to wear because they breathe naturally, reducing perspiration and produce only a very low electrostatic charge.
An additional advantage of cotton is that it can withstand sterilisation.
Cotton is characterized by these features:
- Highly resistant
- Cool and comfortable to wear
- Absorbs perspiration
- Easy to wash
- Fast to dry
- Antistatic
While linen fibre is more delicate and less flexible than cotton making it more difficult to treat and transform the finished fabric is second only to silk.
Its softness increases with the number of washes making it an excellent alternative, and in some cases superior, to cotton.
This fibre is ideal during summer as it allows body heat to be quickly dispersed.
Linen is characterized by these features:
- Highly resistant
- Absorbs perspiration
- Cool and comfortable to wear
- Easy to wash
- Easy to dry
- Very perspiring
- Antistatic
our fabrics
Crystal
Soft and sumptuous like silk. Crystal is a cotton without comparison
regarding the quality of fibre and its finish. Truly Unique.
Polycotton
Poly-cotton takes the benefits of polyester,
its resistance to wrinkles and mixes it with cotton to ensure breathability
and the evaporation of perspiration. The
result is a slightly rigid yet durable and extremely appropriate for
those seeking a product at a reasonable price that is easy to care for
and does not require ironing.
Poplin
Originally
poplin was a textile that contained silk as the cross fibre. As it was
originally used for dresses, shirts and fine upholstery it is often
used generically to refer to materials that are fine and light. Our
poplin incorporates a slightly elastic component creating a material
that is extremely comfortable that facilitates perspiration, dries quickly
and requires only light ironing.
Linen
Linen is second in quality only to silk.
While it is less flexible than cotton it is two times more resistant.
There is no other material which aids perspiration as efficiently making
it ideal for warmer months, climates and working environments. Although
it wrinkles more easily than cotton it becomes softer through washing
and exceeds the comfort of cotton over time. It is also highly efficient
in absorbing humidity and dries easily.
Piquet Façonnés
Façonnés refers to cotton woven
by hand and especially noted for its visual aspect. It’s
achieved by applying varying torsion to the fibres in the process of
weaving. It requires careful washing but guarantees against wearing
out quickly.
Gabardine
Gabardine is a form of twill weave often
recognized for it´s herringbone pattern. The fabric is smooth
on one side and has a diagonally ribbed surface on the other. Traditionally
worsted wool our gabardine is made of the highest quality cotton and
designed to resist wear over time. Its heavier weight limits its application
to certain lines but its use guarantees an incomparable absorption and
an extremely attractive appearance.
Levantina colorata
Coloured levantina is the consequence of studies
specially focused on offering the same characteristics as traditional
levantina while providing a range of brilliant colours meant to endure
the stress of repeated use. We offer an
array of colours which are long lasting, comfortable and easy to care
for. What´s even better is that they can be mixed and matched
to suit your mood.
Levantina
Levantina, a form of twill weave cotton, is
light, soft, extremely versatile and incorporated in almost all of our
products. It is highly resistant, attractive and adapts well to use
in varied temperatures while requiring minimum care.
