Different types of pleats
Découvrez les secrets des plis que vous retrouvez sur nos pièces. Chacun a un usage et un effet différent.
Notre bureau de style s'amuse avec eux pour vous proposer des collections toujours plus originales et créatives : quand le travail de la matière textile devient une création à vivre.
The Crystal Pleat
The crystal pleat is a very tight pleat. It adds texture to the garment as well as a certain suppleness.
The fabric takes on a satiny or shiny appearance as it catches the light.
The Waved Pleat
The wavy pleat can be combined with the flat pleat. It differs in the waves created by the wavy pattern.
When combined with sublimation printing, the wavy pleat produces increasingly unique visual effects.
The flat pleat
A classic pleat in ready-to-wear fashion. It is particularly prominent in timeless pleated skirts: this pleat adds volume and fullness to the garment.
The chevron pleat
Like the flat pleat, the chevron pleat adds fullness and volume to the garment to which it is applied. Thanks to its distinctive shape, it creates a V-shaped or zigzag pattern.
At Cotélac, we craft this pleat in various ways—for example, by combining pleated and smooth sections of fabric—to bring ever greater originality to our designs.
