Pointelle is a type of knit fabric characterized by its intricate, lace-like patterns. These patterns are created by adding small, open spaces within the knit, giving the fabric a light and airy feel. The term "pointelle" is derived from the French word for "lace," which is fitting given the fabric's delicate and decorative nature.
Vintage Appeal: Pointelle fabric has a timeless, vintage charm that resonates with nostalgic fashion lovers. Its intricate patterns are reminiscent of handmade lace and knitwear from bygone eras, making it a perfect choice for those who appreciate retro styles.
Versatility: One of the standout features of pointelle fabric is its versatility. It can be used in a wide range of clothing items, from our basic layering pieces of the Colette Tuscany Crop Tank or the Mariela Tuscany Tank to the chic Luciana Tuscany Dress that is so good it can be worn anywhere and for any event.
Breathability: The open-knit design of pointelle fabric allows for excellent airflow, making it a comfortable choice for various weather conditions. It's particularly popular in spring and summer collections, where its lightweight nature helps keep wearers cool.
Textural Interest: Pointelle adds a unique textural element to any garment. Its intricate patterns create visual interest and depth, elevating simple designs and adding a touch of sophistication to everyday pieces.
