Linen and tencel, for a fresh and bright spring summer

The combination of these two fibers makes it possible to obtain clothing fabrics with a delicate and impalpable hand, shiny, fresh and highly breathable. To create ready-to-wear garments, in full comfort and wearability

In the spring summer season linen predominates, the noble fiber for excellence, which “mixed” with tencel ensures a refined and comfortable look at the same time with shirts, trousers and outerwear that enrich our wardrobe with something unique and durable. 
Linen is the oldest textile fiber in the world, beautiful and precious, but above all ecological and natural, sustainable and with a very low environmental footprint.

The characteristics of linen 

Linen is a textile fiber, a very tenacious fiber: it is practically inextensible and does not deteriorate with repeated washing, on the contrary, thanks to them it can acquire greater softness.
It is heat resistant and little bleaching, hypoallergenic and breathable.
Due to its freshness and resistance, linen is perfect for making spring and summer clothing. It is breathable and therefore is able to optimally absorb moisture, and is also able to filter UVA rays.

The Tencel

It is a textile fiber that is extracted from the cellulose of the eucalyptus plant. It has a natural origin, but since it is subsequently processed with chemicals, it is in effect a synthetic fiber.

The characteristics of tencel

This textile fiber is characterized by excellent resistance, even after numerous washes, good breathability and moisture absorption. It is very soft and light, smooth and shiny, particularly suitable for sensitive skin.
Sometimes tencel is compared to silk and satin, due to the sensation it leaves on the skin. In addition, it allows excellent breathability and is a natural temperature regulator, thus allowing you to feel cool in summer and warm in winter.

Linen + Tencel: Pontex proposal for SS23

Pontex Spring Summer 2023 Collection focuses on natural and light clothing fabrics with a fresh touch, but at the same time more functional and resistant, with high performance.
For Spring Summer 2023 we have combined tencel with a natural fiber such as linen: these two associated fibers make it possible to obtain fabrics for clothing with a delicate and impalpable hand, shiny, fresh and highly breathable. We go from very light weights for shirts to heavier weights for trousers and outerwear.

Pontex offers clothing fabrics ideal for making ready-to-wear garments, comfortable to wear and functional, unique garments that accompany us over time and that can never be missing in our wardrobe. With soft and sometimes intense colors thanks to the absorption capacity of the fibers with which they are made.
Garments that are also ideal for people with sensitive skin, as we have already specified the hypoallergenicity of linen and tencel.

Tie-dyed velvet: the art of imperfection

Discover the unique beauty of hand-dyed velvets, where every hue tells a story  Velvet is a fabric very appreciated by fashion, for many reasons: it creates fluid and elegant lines, is available in a wide range of finishing types, from smooth velvet to corduroy, offers many creative possibilities. Furthermore, this fabric is well suited to particular dyes and finishing, as in the case of the so called “tie-dyed” effect.  What is the meaning of tie-dyed in fabrics for clothing?  Tie-dyed means that a fabric for clothing, velvet in this case, was dyed in an uneven way; therefore, it presents a not homogeneous, irregular colour, with striping that confers character and identity. The uneven effect is wanted and sought after.  Why tie-dyed velvet?  With tie-dyed velvet it is possible to create pieces of clothing with a contemporary allure, with a daily and relaxed style. Fluid trousers and shirts with an elegant and shiny touch, versatile jackets and soft embracing coats, with lines that develop themselves comfortable along the silhouette.  Tie-dyed velvets by Pontex  We have created a capsule of precious velvets for clothing with tie-dyed effect, ready to tailor the desired piece of clothing. Our velvets are suitable for garment dyeing process too, that is when the piece of clothing is dyed after tailoring instead of before the realisation of the piece itself. In this case, the piece of clothing acquires a really unique effect because dye distributes in a slightly different way on each piece. Furthermore, garment dyeing allows to dye pieces of clothing made of different materials and fibres in only one passage. For the dyeing process, we rely on the best experts in Northern Italy, specialised in piece and garment dyeing fabrics for clothing by using the most innovative techniques now available. We synergistically work side by side with them in order to realise a product that is unique and customised.  The dyeing process to obtain the tie-dyed effect is hand-made, in a fully artisanal way, through the so-called “spraying”. Upon request, dyeing can be made with natural colours, at a cold temperature, using pigments and resins to dye at relatively low temperatures, with considerable energy saving and reducing impact on environment.  It is important to underline that these particular dyes, as well as finishing, coating and resin-treatments are resistant over time only when realised on top-quality fabrics.  Why rely on Pontex?  Because we are craftsmen in fabric: we dedicate ourselves to the creation of unique and precious, high-quality fabrics for clothing, with a high aesthetical and functional value. Like craftsmen, we perform our work with passion and commitment, investing time and energy in the realisation of each fabric that is customised basing on your requests. We follow you in all production steps, from the choice of the fabric for which we provide stock service, to the best dyeing and finishing process, in a timely manner and making our know-how available for you, following strict checks to test its utmost quality and resistance. Our style office, that is the creative heart of Pontex, constantly monitors fashion trends and develops trendy mood-board and concept choosing the best yarns, the best structured textures, the best finishing and processes to create unique fabrics for clothing. This is the case of tie-dyed velvets, the last newness from Pontex for a “tailor-made fashion”, open to experimentation and changes.  The new Fall/Winter 25/26 Collection by Pontex is focused on velvets, but also on resin-treated, coupled, Made in Italy fabrics, on viscose, silks and gauzes, on cotton and cotton elastomer, on cottons with structured texture and tencel.

How to wear velvet today Total look: choose a velvet suit for a sophisticated and embracing effect, maybe combined with a pair of shiny décolleté. A touch of velvet: if you prefer a more discrete look, insert velvet with accessories like bags, shoes or belts. Play with colours: velvet is not only black or burgundy, try brighter colours and nice patterns for an original touch.
