ABOUT LYCRA FIBRE

LYCRA® is a synthetic elastane fibre that can stretch up to six times its length and return to its original state – time and again. LYCRA® fibres have redefined comfort, fit, freedom of movement and shape retention in virtually every garment category since its first use as a substitute for rubber over 50 years ago.

LYCRA® fibres are a versatile, invisible ingredient that improves the characteristics of natural and man-made host fabrics. They have fundamentally transformed close-to-the-body garment categories such as swimwear, hosiery and intimate apparel. They enhance the drape, shape, comfort and appearance of outerwear. And they have played a key part in the development of entirely new active and performance sportswear concepts.

The LYCRA Company Apparel’s unique science base ensures that, each year, LYCRA® fibre innovations add more consumer value to more premium quality garments than ever before.
