Leading Italian fabric producer, Carvico, has just announced the launch of a brand-new fabric. Inspired by the famous beach located in Rio de Janeiro, as light as sea breeze and sinuous like sand dunes, Ipanema is the latest, impalpable addition to the company collection of stretch warp-knitted fabrics.
Ipanema is ultra-light and follows the body and its every move without constraints. Buttery, “natural”, and soft, it features a spray velvet, almost “dusty” hand feel. Extremely comfortable thanks to its stretch structure, Ipanema is highly versatile and boasts a special sporty appeal. Indeed, it is ideal for the creation of yoga and fitness apparel and also for trendy and glamorous draped beachwear.
Lightweight and moisture wicking, Ipanema is also suitable for second layer, wraparound but soft t-shirts for running.
Ipanema is not only high-tech and high-performance, but also eco-sustainable.
This new fabric by Carvico is made of ECONYL®, a 100% regenerated nylon yarn from pre- and post-consumer waste materials which, once they get to the end of their useful life, instead of being disposed of in a landfill, are recovered and regenerated through a complex chemical/physical process.
