OUR FABRICS

At nue lingerie, we aim to create long lasting pieces that feel soft to the touch. To achieve that, we only design with resistant and comfortable fabrics.

Below you'll find a short glossary introducing out favourite fibers and weaves. We aim to add Recycled Econyl Fabrics.

FIBERS

NYLON

Nylon is an extremely strong, elastic fiber that has been popular in women’s lingerie and stockings since the 1930s. It is lightweight and feels second skin. It is breathable, resists stains and is very durable. 

LYCRA

Lycra, or spandex, is a high stretch / high recovery fiber. It is often used in high performance activewear, swimwear and performance wear. It is woven and knit with other fibers to increase their stretch.

SILK

Silk is the strongest and most hypoallergenic natural fiber. It helps adjust temperature and humidity. It is delicate and soft to the touch.
