What is Lurex?

It's the LUREX fabric, made with yarns that resemble metal, available in shades of GOLD and SILVER, as well as vibrant and sparkling colors. Thanks to its delicate processing, LUREX creates a lightweight and transparent fabric, making it particularly suitable for creating extremely feminine garments, and in recent times, it's also widely used by men.

Lurex: The Story of a Sparkling Fabric

LUREX, with its extraordinary brightness and unmatched allure, is a true masterpiece in the textile industry. In this article, we will explore this wonderful material in-depth, revealing its characteristics, origin, and countless applications. You will discover how LUREX fabric is a versatile and fascinating choice to enrich your wardrobe and home.

The history of LUREX dates back to the 1940s when it was first developed in France. Initially used for military purposes, the fabric quickly conquered the world of fashion thanks to its beauty and versatility. Today, Lurex is produced worldwide, with reference to its French and Italian roots.

Distinctive Features

• Lasting Brilliance: The brilliance of Lurex doesn't fade over time, making garments and accessories made with this fabric an ideal choice for special events.

Yarns and Crochet Ideas:

Recommended Yarns for Winter with Lurex:

BOLLY

A product that combines the wonderful Superwash Virgin Wool with, like all our Mulesing Free products, the almost impossible to find polyester fiber to create a truly innovative yarn.

The polyester fiber is not like the usual lamé, but it's a metallic fiber that adheres to all the procedures and precautions to guarantee a truly unique experience on the skin.

Bolly boasts a colored and metallic effect while maintaining a soft and delicate touch thanks to the use of this fiber that is "blended" with other fibers.

BUCLEY

The Bucley yarn is now a constant in the Tessiland® collection. A soft blend of wool and lamé makes it the ideal yarn for creating precious shawls, ponchos, and knitwear, but it's also perfect for accessories that require that extra touch of elegance. Lamé embraced by soft wool makes it comfortable and precious, avoiding any discomfort on the skin.

METALLICA

Metallica is a yarn for creating clothing and accessories with both crochet and knitting needles. It excels with airy and not too elaborate stitches thanks to the shades that will create an innovative and modern texture on their own. But its true uniqueness lies in the twist of pure virgin wool with a shiny acrylic microfiber that, when properly printed, creates a truly exclusive effect: a luminosity that resembles lurex but isn't, with all the advantages that this entails, such as comfort and fiber uniformity.

ROXY

A slightly "dusty" look is on-trend for the new Roxy, which maintains the characteristics that have made it a success in terms of comfort and structure, but this season it adds a slightly "fuzzy" appearance that doesn't hinder easy workability. Recommended for soft work, it is absolutely comfortable on the skin, in compliance with the demands of the discerning audience that purchases 100% Made in Italy products signed by Tessiland®.

WANDA

WANDA stands prominently in the category of high-quality yarns! A yarn with a blend of cotton, wool, and viscose that will make your creations particularly comfortable and durable over time. Enhanced by the metallic fiber that adds sparkle, Wanda is designed for outerwear and accessories that can be created even by beginners with a crochet hook size 6-7 but still want to impress!

Fashion

The world of fashion has embraced LUREX with enthusiasm. Evening dresses, cocktail dresses, and accessories made with Lurex add a dose of glamour and sophistication to any wardrobe. The sparkling effect of the fabric captures attention and makes the wearer feel special.

Chances are, everyone has had the opportunity to admire the metallic-effect long dresses that make Hollywood celebrities irresistibly sexy, but emerging brands have made Lurex fabric even more versatile, creating multicolored palazzo pants for daytime outfits as well.

In the fall-winter fashion shows, Lurex took center stage thanks to the promotion by prestigious luxury brands, starting with Rabanne, which made it the centerpiece of its collection. True to the maison's legacy, their luminous fabrics and subtle metallic sheets marked an era. Elaborate textures with luminescent glimmers in gold and silver shaped elegant tiered skirts, classic-cut trousers, and cropped turtlenecks.

Interior Decoration

In interior design, LUREX is often used for curtains, cushions, and furniture upholstery. Its brilliance accentuates the elegance of living spaces, creating a luxurious and inviting atmosphere.

Preferred Colors

One of the most surprising aspects of LUREX is its unique ability to capture light. This means that LUREX clothing items can shine in a myriad of different colors depending on how the light hits them. Alongside the more classic and well-known tones of gold and silver, which continue to be the most popular shades and perhaps the most versatile to coordinate and flaunt, there are earth-inspired colors such as beige, browns, and bronze, as well as bolder shades like turquoise and purple.

How to Wear Lurex

Now that you've decided to embrace the LUREX trend, you might be wondering how to wear it with style. Here are some ideas for incorporating LUREX into your winter wardrobe:

• Undergarments

A versatile piece suited for all seasons and any time of the day. Sleeveless LUREX undergarments add a touch of elegance and richness to any ensemble.

• Shimmering One-Piece Swimsuit

The LUREX one-piece swimsuit has become a true must-have in the world of beachwear, quickly earning a prominent place, suitable for the beach for those opting for warm destinations during the winter and for those escaping for a weekend getaway to a wonderful spa or thermal baths.

• Flare Leg Pants

Wide and flared at the bottom, LUREX pants pay tribute to the sparkling '80s, adding a retro touch of elegance to any outfit.

• Sparkling Evening Dresses

Nothing says "elegance" like an evening dress in LUREX. Choose a long dress with metallic highlights to make a bold statement during your special evenings.

• Bright Jackets

If you prefer a more understated yet elegant style, opt for a LUREX jacket. This piece can be worn for both a formal and casual look and is sure to make you stand out from the crowd.

• Sparkling Skirts

LUREX skirts are a fun and feminine option for winter. Combine a luminous skirt with a soft sweater for an eye-catching look.

• The Wrap Belt

Tie it around your waist over a light cotton maxi dress or wrap it around your neck when wearing an elegant silk slip dress. The LUREX wrap belt proves to be an accessory capable of transforming a look both in winter and summer.
