Lightweight Chambray Denim - Cotton & Viscose Quatrefoil Lattice - Classic Denim is a wonderful, finely woven, Italian-made, viscose & cotton blend, fancy diamond weave.

Colour & Design:

Forming the design of this woven fabric, is a fine latticework of tiny rounded crosses, known as Quatrefoils (in Gothic architecture). The combination of silky soft yarns in black and grey-blue together produce an all-over dark denim tone, similar in handle to a finely woven piqué suiting, with subtle texture.

Properties:

This expertly woven fabric has chambray vibes thanks to its cool breathable feel and denim tones. This is a designer fabric that you can quite literally dress up or dress down. Why settle for the ordinary when you can have the extraordinary? Originally made for the same high-end name as our SOS & Jewel Jacquard fabrics, Lightweight Chambray Denim is equally stunning and perfect for cross-seasonal wear.

Boasting excellent stability and the most beautiful & reassuring drape quality, it's perfect for a mountain of uses! This fabric will hold crisp details like collars & cuffs, and will form gathers & pleats with ease. Denim and chambray styles always have classic appeal, especially in a colour that suits most skin tones and sits well with a variety of classic wardrobe styles. This natural fibre blend means that this beauty is breathable and soft, ideal for clothing all members of the family, from pretty toddler dresses and cute rompers to seriously smart shirts.
