Rigatto
17254
The name for this striped jacquard is a play on the Italian words riga and gatto - stripe and cat. Alongside an uneven jacquard stripe with linen and polyester ground another one is added with a “pile” effect, created by an additional viscose weft. The technique is that of corduroy, typical in fashion. The weaving phase is followed by a first finishing in which a machine cuts the viscose weft and then a second finishing which makes it “puffier”, creating the pile effect. The result is a mix between a jacquard fabric and a velvet. Available in 8 colours, Rigatto can be used railroaded and is suitable for upholstery.
