We caught up with Fernando Marques from our Procurement Department to hear his perspective on the latest 2x2 rib developments.

‍

“Thanks to their ribbed and elastic structure, ribs are naturally ideal for close-fitting garments with excellent shape retention.”

What stands out about these new ribs?

“The key feature of these new ribs is their more compact and sophisticated construction, resulting in a tighter, more uniform and denser fabric structure. This provides greater dimensional stability and enhanced rib definition. This increased density also translates into a higher perceived quality, giving garments a cleaner, more premium appearance and greater added value.”

What impact does mercerization have on the fabric?

“The fact that these fabrics are mercerized makes them even more sophisticated, as the process delivers a brighter finish, a softer hand feel, and a richer, more elegant visual appearance.”

‍

Which types of garments do you see these 2x2 ribs being used for?

“Thanks to their ribbed and elastic structure, ribs are naturally ideal for close-fitting garments with excellent shape retention. I can easily see them being used in tops, fitted dresses, lightweight sweaters, fine cardigans and bodysuits.”
