SAPOR TEXTILE
The activity on the fabric market is becoming more and more demanding year by year, both in the fashion sector and in corporate clothing. The expectations of the customers are increasingly focused on innovation and new products.
This season we decided to focus very strongly on knitwear in over 20 colours and several structures in natural compositions 100% CO and 85% NYLON/15% EL.
The comfort of using this type of knitwear gives an excellent effect for the final recipient. It is a combination of comfort of everyday use and elegance. The knitwear is finished with LA plus Easy Care, as a result of which they gain additional utility value. In order to provide our customers with super service, we offered these innovative products in 20 colours and 3 structures.
All SAPOR TEXTILE customers emphasize that whoever has tried our knitwear does not want to wear anything else, which seems to be the best possible recommendation. The knitwear offered is available in our warehouse in central Poland in Rzgow near to Lodz, which guarantees excellent service throughout Europe within a few days from the date of order.
For more conservative customers, we have fabrics in TWILL, OXFORD and SATIN weaves with the most sophisticated finishes, which can be used both for companies from the fashion market or for contracts for corporate clothing. They have ECO-TEX certification for all their products.
