What are jeans fabrics?

A natural material with many variations

Jeans, also called denim, is traditionally made of cotton, sometimes blended with elastane or polyester for more flexibility and comfort. It is characterized by a twill weave, which gives it its strength and its two-tone effect, typically blue on the front and white on the back.

Among its variants, you will find notably:

• Denim: thick, durable fabric with a visible diagonal weave.
• Chambray: lighter and softer, perfect for shirts or flowing garments.
• Stretch jeans: includes elastane for increased comfort, ideal for pants, shorts, wrap skirts, or choose jackets, shirts, jumpsuits, and trendy overalls.
