ALCHIMIA Jacquard represents the pinnacle of contemporary textile research. A mirrored “double-faced” fabric that not only doubles creative possibilities but elevates the concept of outerwear to a true reversible work of art. The complexity of the weave creates a sophisticated chromatic dialogue between earthy warmth and mineral coolness.
The Two Faces of Fabric:
- Side A (Pearl/Aquamarine): The colors are reversed in an extremely elegant photographic negative. The ground becomes a pearly and luminous aquamarine gray, while the stylized graphic elements emerge in warm brown tones, creating a clear and luxurious graphic contrast.
- Side B (Chocolate): A matte and silky milk chocolate brown ground, warm and enveloping, serves as a canvas for abstract relief motifs. Here, silk is interwoven with an exclusive Sand/Aquamarine Gray lurex yarn, a hybrid hue that releases iridescent metallic highlights. The design manifests itself with dynamic brushstrokes and scratches, as if the metal were applied to the silk with the force of an artistic gesture.
The hand is full-bodied, noble, lively, and textured. The unique jacquard construction allows for a finished fabric on both sides, making it ideal for unlined garments where the interior becomes as precious a detail as the exterior.
Thanks to its double-faced nature and structured weight, this fabric is ideal for:
- Unlined couture coats and dusters, where the interplay of interior and exterior colors becomes the focus of the design.
- Architectural Capes: Loose-fitting volumes that, as they move, reveal the magnetic contrast between chocolate brown and aquamarine.
- Reversible Jackets: For versatile garments that go from the depths of brown to the pearly sheen of aquamarine with a single gesture.
Care:
- Professional dry cleaning
- Do not wash in water
Drying:
- Do not tumble dry: Mechanical heat damages silk fibers and can distort the embossed leaves.
- In the shade: If the garment becomes damp, let it dry naturally, away from direct heat sources or intense sunlight.
- Ironing
- Low temperature: Iron on the reverse side (inside) with an iron on a low silk setting (maximum 110°C).
- Without direct steam: Excessive steam can alter the three-dimensional texture. Use a cotton cloth between the iron and the fabric to avoid a “shiny” effect on the silk.
- Vertical ironing: If possible, use a light vertical steamer to refresh the garment without crushing the embossed design.
Storage
- Hanging: Use padded hangers to avoid marking the shoulders of structured garments.
- Breathability: Store in fabric bags (not plastic) to allow the silk to breathe.
