Ponte
Ponte is a versatile and stable knit fabric known for its smooth surface and excellent stretch recovery, making it ideal for structured garments.
About Ponte
Ponte, often referred to as Ponte de Roma, is a double-knit fabric characterized by its weight and stability. It is typically made from a blend of rayon, nylon, and spandex, which contributes to its soft hand feel and elasticity. The fabric is constructed using a weft knit technique, resulting in a dense, durable material that drapes well while maintaining its shape. Ponte is commonly used in the production of dresses, skirts, trousers, and fitted tops due to its ability to provide comfort and support without being restrictive.
