TRENDS

We have reached our third and final Restorative Journey Activewear theme – Paper-Weight Shield.

Paper-Weight Shield:  lightweight woven fabric updated with a unique surface

Lightweight functionality is essential to active and athleisure wear – and thus, lightweight fabrics have been a megatrend for several seasons. Since consumers are seeking new styles and updated fabrics, we foresee surface lightweight woven fabrics being renewed with a papery touch and semi-shiny surface this season. 

Our recommended yarns and fabrics for Paper-Weight Shield include:

Key Yarns

• regen™ BIO: USDA and SGS-certified spandex/elastane partly made with renewable resources.
• regen™ Spandex: 100% recycled, RCS-certified spandex/elastane made from the reclaimed waste from our manufacturing process. 
• regen™ Ocean Nylon: GRS-certified, 100% recycled post-consumer nylon made from discarded fishing nets.
• regen™ Xanadu: 100% recycled polyester with mechanical stretch.
• CREORA® Conadu: Cotton-like touch polyester with mechanical stretch.
