2. Nylon velvet fabric, 70D nylon filament in the warp direction and 160D in the weft direction.
320D,
It is woven from 500D nylon air-changed yarn. The air-changed yarn is a product produced using special processing technology, which produces the concave and convex feel and soft touch of natural linen.
