Trimmings and Prefabrication

Trimmings and prefabrication cover everything added to the cut pieces – bands, cords, laces, buttons or size labels, some of them already processed at an earlier stage.

From motifs to snap fasteners

Motifs are also heat-welded on, pockets are sewn on, and collars are reinforced with interlining. The soft transfers used are all free of harmful substances, since they are coloured with water-based inks, and the snap fasteners used are nickel-free.

Why this matters for your underwear

These trimmings are what turns a cut piece of fabric into a garment ready to wear – and the harmless, nickel-free materials make sure it is safe to wear directly against the skin.
