The exclusive Europa two-way-stretch fabric qualities are offered in a wide variety of weights for both authentic denim and solid piece-dyed plains in classic structures and new ‘knit-look’ wovens. A dedicated offer for menswear is also presented this season, and while the two-way-stretch quality is generally less seen, these new qualities are designed to offer new and particular combinations for mens casual and sportswear applications.
