Eurojersey, a global leader in warp-knitted technical fabrics, has renewed and strengthened its long-standing partnership with The Lycra Company, a leading producer of elastomeric fibres. The collaboration, operating under the Dress to Perform initiative, highlights the duo’s shared commitment to technical innovation, garment performance, and premium quality.

At the core of this partnership lies the Sensitive Fabrics collection, a patented line that integrates a high content of Lycra fibre. This synergy results in fabrics offering exceptional elasticity, lasting fit, and freedom of movement while meeting the demands of today’s activewear, fashion, and lifestyle sectors. The technical attributes include superior comfort, enhanced breathability, and a sleek appearance that resists pilling and retains shape over time.

Sensitive Fabrics provide a host of user benefits, including UPF 50+ protection, quick drying, wrinkle resistance, and low-maintenance care. The fabrics also feature high definition printing capabilities, delivering vivid colours and precise detailing even under stretch.

Advanced manufacturing techniques further elevate the quality and design potential of these fabrics. These include heat-sealed taping for seamless, ergonomic lines; bonding for smooth, reinforced edges; punch-out laser micro-perforation for increased breathability; and free cut finishing, enabling hem-free garments that maintain their form due to the elastic nature of Lycra fibre.

By combining Eurojersey’s fabric expertise with Lycra’s advanced fibre technology, this collaboration continues to push the boundaries of modern textile solutions. The result is a portfolio of innovative materials that address both performance and aesthetic needs, ideal for brands seeking to offer high-functioning and stylish apparel.
