Discover the secrets of the different folds that you find on our pieces.
Our in-house Style Office in Ambérieu-en-Bugey - France has fun with them to offer you ever more original and creative pieces: when the work of textile material becomes a creation to be lived.
The crystal fold is a very tight fold. It gives relief to the garment as well as a certain suppleness.
The fabric becomes as if satin or shiny by playing with the light.
The wavy fold could be associated with the flat fold. It differs in the waves that the ripple creates.
Associated with sublimation, the wavy fold causes ever more original visual effects.
The flat pleat is the classic pleat in ready-to-wear. It can be found in particular through the timeless pleated skirts: this pleat gives volume and fullness to the garment.
The herringbone pleat, like the flat pleat, gives fullness and volume to the garment on which it is applied. Thanks to its particular shape, it draws Vs or zigzags.
This pleat is worked at Cotélac in different ways, combining, for example, folded and smooth fabric panels to offer even more originality in our creations.
