Lycra and partners expand Intertextile presence
The Lycra Company has expanded its pavilion at Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics Autumn Edition (August 25 to 27).
The 356-square-metre space features partners Jingzili New Material, JYT Textile, Lianxingfa Knitting and Trend Textile, and is part of a larger 895-square-metre pavilion showcasing 19 co-exhibitors.
Jason Wang, vice-president of Asia for Lycra, said: "This year, we wanted to create an environment that sparks curiosity, encourages new thinking and showcases what's possible when innovation moves beyond individual products to become part of a broader experience."
Lycra FiT400 fibre for both wovens and knits is being previewed at Intertextile. The knits version has been refreshed and is now available in three performance tiers: Essential, Expanded, and Elevated. It also delivers non-spandex stretch and cooling benefits that last the life of the garment. The woven version creates fabrics that offer traditional aesthetics with durable, low-to-moderate mechanical stretch for all-day comfort.
Renewable Lycra is made with 70% renewable content derived in part from field corn grown in the American Midwest. It delivers the same performance as the traditional fibre while also supporting efforts to reduce garment carbon footprints.
