Material ConneXion has added new high-performance Cordura fabrics to its global innovation library. Between Material ConneXion’s extensive showrooms all around the world and the easy accessibility of its online directory, designers will have quick and convenient insight into Cordura’s latest Live Durable fabric technologies.
Cordura Denims from the brand's X. Venture Collexion, a retro-futuristic line of garments created through a collaborative effort with designer Michele Rose and in concert with Artistic Milliners, the brand’s longest running authorized Cordura Denim mill, were selected and voted in after the materials caught the attention of Material ConneXion.
These innovative denims are now on display in Material ConneXion's multiple global showrooms, as well as included in the company's comprehensive online database. Cordura fabric is a primary ingredient in many of the world’s leading high-performance gear and apparel products ranging from luggage, upholstery and backpacks to footwear, military equipment, tactical wear, workwear and performance apparel. Cordura is a trademark of Invista, one of the world’s largest integrated producers of chemical intermediates, polymers and fibers.
