Fashionable materials: felts warm the winter
Among the oldest materials of mankind -6,000 BC.-, felts have found their place in current fashion trends in autumn-winter footwear and manufactures.
There are two main types of felts: the original or natural ones produced with layers of animal wool and fur, which are agglomerated into sheets by heat and pressure; and adhesive acrylics, made up of synthetic polyester fibers.
In addition to their good thermal and protective properties, they are materials with adequate molding or shaping capacity for footwear and leather goods, for example.
Their reappearance comes from the hand of the great international fashion brands, who use them in various collections of footwear and manufactures, in many cases, combined with leathers or synthetics, producing a good optical effect and adding identity to the products.
They are offered in a wide variety of colors and thicknesses, in addition to printed alternatives.
