Lily Lace International
Triacetate polyester lace that is soft and lustrous after unique Kyoto processing

Lily Lace International Co., Ltd. has put much effort into its lace development, adding new designs like flocking, pleats and velour.
The company offers ten flocked lace patterns, floral and geometric, using flocking on nylon and rayon lace with a small flower motif, and has added warmth and three-dimensionality to its translucency. In striving for flexibility and warmth, its wool and nylon lace is colour-foil processed into hole- or geometric-patterned lace, or full-processed in the style of Japanese paper. Lily Lace International has released ten designs of unique quality, which are both soft and crisp.

The pleated lace is of a medium-thickness, with pleats processed onto three synthetic lace patterns, which feel soft and warm.

New forms of expression with print

While these uniquely-designed materials are receiving much attention, new forms of expression are also growing, based on printing and combined with stylistic changes.

Part of the E5 Suiting series, a wool-style polyester
produced using waterless dyeing and printing technology

As part of efforts to reinforce AirDye, its waterless dyeing and printing technology, Debs Textile Corporation has strengthened its E5 Clothing offering, a selection of printed dress materials made using that technology.

The line-up has around 20 designs, like polyester and cotton stretch materials, wool-style polyester and cuprammonium composite, and the company plans to expand sales, with a focus on prints with a denim style, washed treatment or wool-like design. Debs Textile has also developed Greener Dreams, a series of textiles with a focus on 100% recycled polyester materials, to reflect the increased demand for environmentally-conscious materials, introducing a total of around 20 new textiles.

Similarly, Kokka has a full line-up beginning with gauze with a double-, triple- or sextuple-woven cotton, which has been popular in the spring-summer market, and ranging to its print series, designed for the market for casual jeans-based looks, with materials for the three seasons, spring to autumn.
