stretch we all love.

one of the fastest
growing segments of
the women’s market for
jeans manufacturers.

those who like the look of
denim but prefer polyester
blends that wash and dry
quickly and are lighter weight
and a bit dressier.
 Ramie is a plant fiber usually
added because it reduces
wrinkling and adds a silky
luster to the fabric.

denim could be made from
thee types of technologies.
