We will introduce the added textiles along with trend information from the VANCET exhibition.
At this exhibition, the textiles were displayed under several different themes, and here we introduce the materials from the [Ethical] and [Easy Care] themes.

Environmental issues are a major challenge for the fashion industry, and VANCET was also proposing various materials. One of them is Tencel®. Tencel® is a registered trademark of lyocell, and lyocell is a regenerated fiber made by dissolving wood pulp and refining it into yarn.It is a recycled fiber with a low environmental impact. Since the dissolved solution can also be reused, wastewater is kept to a minimum.
This is a bare jersey made with Tencel™. It has an excellent feel against the skin and comes in a wide range of colors.
We think it could also be used for innerwear and similar items.

This eco material uses recycled polyester for the weft yarn. Its smooth hand and excellent color development are also key features.

Fabrics that wrinkle less or dry quickly after washing are easier to care for, which is better for clothes worn frequently.
I feel that these functional materials are especially popular in business wear, regardless of whether they are for Ladies or men.
Among younger people, there also seem to be many who prefer functional materials with better easy-care properties over 100% wool fabrics.

Coolmax is a functional material with excellent wrinkle resistance and moisture-wicking, quick-drying performance. This one is made into seersucker, so it also has a smooth feel against the skin.
Seersucker often has stripes in different colors, but this one uses stripes in similar tones, giving it an even calmer impression.

This is a seersucker check material made with SOLOTEX®.
SOLOTEX® has a distinctive molecular structure with fibers arranged in a helical shape, giving it a supple springiness.
This textile also has stretch properties, and although it is a knit material, it has a woven-fabric-like finish.
The color range is also extensive, from bright colors suitable for spring and summer to colors that could work well in business settings.
We have also added more VANCET textiles to ApparelX, so please take a look.
