Our Pique fabric is crafted using state-of-the-art Raschel warp knitting technology with high-density polyester fibers, ensuring top-tier quality and long-lasting performance.
Unique Manufacturing Process
Our Pique fabric is produced using advanced Raschel warp knitting technology, woven meticulously to create a high-density, honeycomb-like structure. Here’s a closer look at the unique manufacturing process and how it differentiates from standard fabrics:
Raschel Warp Knitting Technology:
This technique employs warp knitting machines to interlace yarns into a high-density, honeycomb pattern. This weaving method not only makes the fabric more compact and robust but also imparts a distinctive three-dimensional texture, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and functionality.
High-Density Polyester Fibers:
We use premium polyester fibers, specially treated to provide excellent moisture-wicking and breathability. Compared to standard fabrics, Pique fabric excels in absorbing and evaporating sweat, keeping the wearer dry and comfortable.
UV Resistance Treatment:
Pique fabric undergoes UV resistance treatment, effectively shielding against harmful ultraviolet rays and preventing the fabric from aging and fading under prolonged sun exposure. This feature ensures the fabric maintains its functionality and appearance during extended outdoor activities.
Anti-Shrinkage Treatment:
To ensure the fabric retains its shape and size after multiple washes, we apply anti-shrinkage treatment. Unlike standard fabrics, Pique fabric resists deformation and shrinkage, extending its lifespan.
Eco-Friendly Manufacturing:
Our Pique fabric is made with environmentally friendly materials and processes, free from harmful substances. Compared to standard fabrics, Pique fabric meets modern sustainable fashion standards.

The History and Versatility of Piqué Fabric
Have you ever wondered why the outside of a polo shirt features a waffle-like texture while the inside remains smooth? The secret lies in a special fabric known as piqué.
Piqué fabric originated in 18th-century France. This fabric is characterized by its unique raised pattern. Initially, piqué fabric was used to make the collars and cuffs of men’s dress shirts. Later, it gained popularity in England and was used to create uniforms for polo players.
Commonly referred to as “pique” or “piquee”, this fabric became widely known for its use in polo shirts. In the 1800s, the wealthy favored this material for making elegant dresses, vests, and jackets.
Today, piqué fabric remains an excellent choice for casual wear, valued for its distinctive texture and durability.
Types of Piqué Fabrics
Piqué fabric is renowned for its unique texture and versatility. Did you know there are various types of piqué fabric, each with its distinct texture and design? Here are the most common types of piqué fabric:
Baby Piqué
Baby piqué is soft, lightweight, and primarily made from cotton and polyester blends. Created using a special loom called a dobby loom, it features delicate ribbing patterns. The fabric has parallel cords running along its length, making it breathable and comfortable. It is ideal for baby clothes like onesies, rompers, and dresses, especially for hot summer days.
Double Piqué
Double piqué knit is a heavier type of piqué fabric, typically used for polo shirts, dresses, and skirts. It involves weaving two layers of fabric together, resulting in a textured surface. This type of piqué fabric is the most affordable due to the method of production, where expensive threads are fused with less costly ones, reducing production expenses. Despite this, it offers an aesthetic appearance without compromising quality.
French Piqué
French piqué is a premium type crafted from long-staple cotton fibers. It is famous for its silky feel, durability, and excellent draping abilities. The ribbed texture of the fabric is lifted to create a diamond shape, adding to its tactile appeal. French piqué is perfect for making blouses, knit skirts, and shirt dresses, offering moisture-wicking properties that enhance its versatility. Unlike double-knit piqué, it is more expensive.
Micro Piqué
Micro piqué has a smooth and silky texture due to the use of fine yarns. Made from polyester, it is designed to absorb sweat from the skin, making it ideal for athletic clothing such as golf shirts and tennis skirts. However, stitching micro piqué can be challenging due to its delicate nature, so simple designs are recommended to avoid tangling problems after sewing.
Swiss Piqué
Swiss piqué is a high-quality fabric made from tightly woven solid cotton fibers. It resembles a honeycomb pattern created by weaving and knitting. Stretchy and bouncy, Swiss piqué requires careful washing to maintain its quality. This fabric is durable, comfortable, and absorbs sweat well, making it a popular choice for polo shirts, dress shirts, and sportswear.
