LABELLED Gemma, a new supersoft swimwear fabric was launched by Carvico as an absolute novelty at the MarediModa salon in Cannes. The 190 gr/m2 fabric in 82/18% PA/EA contains Lycra Xtra Life for greater resistance to chlorine and other chemicals that accelerate loss of stretch and recovery performance. Earlier, Carvico and its circular knitting sister company Jersey Lomellina had put online a new website that, among other novelties, features a fabric selection function that allows visitors to specify a broad range of fabric characteristics and provides images and technical information of corresponding fabrics in the collections.
The “Find a Fabric” feature of the new website promises to prove useful for designers seeking fabrics to meet specific functional requirements.
