Jacquard Toka is a high-end textile fabric that combines jacquard technology with Toka fabric. Toka originates from the Tuscany region of Italy. It originally referred to sheepskin fabrics with integrated fur. Now it generally refers to imitation leather or plush fabrics with plush texture. Jacquard Toka uses special jacquard technology to make the fabric present a three-dimensional and exquisite pattern, which has both texture and artistic value.
There are three common types of materials for jacquard totes: one is real wool, which is made of high-quality sheepskin such as Merino sheep and small-tail Han sheep. The skin is thin (about 0.8mm), has high fluff density and has strong warmth retention; the other is imitation leather, mostly 100% polyester or polyester and spandex (5% Left and right) blended fabrics, which simulate plush texture through sanding process; third, blended fabrics, such as wool and polyester fiber blends, taking into account both warmth and durability. High-end models will be made of recycled polyester, which is in line with the concept of environmental protection, and some also add conductive fibers to improve antistatic properties.
The core of the jacquard toka lies in the jacquard technology, which uses a jacquard loom to weave the pattern directly into the fabric instead of printing and dyeing it later. The process is as follows: First, fine-denier fibers are made by spinning, and then carded and spun to form yarn; then the designer's pattern is digitized and input into an electronic jacquard machine to control the interweaving of warp and weft threads to form a three-dimensional pattern; then sanding is performed to make the pile short, curly, dense and shiny; finally, a low-temperature dyeing process is used to ensure uniform and stable color, with a dry rubbing color fastness of level 4-5 and a wet rubbing color fastness of level 3-4. Complex patterns require the interweaving of multi-colored yarns, and some high-end products use more than 4 yarns of different colors to enhance the layering and three-dimensionality of the pattern.
Jacquard support card has the advantages of both support card fabric and jacquard technology: soft texture, delicate touch like cashmere, fluffy and elastic fluff; good warmth retention, the fiber can lock more still air, forming an efficient heat insulation layer; three-dimensional pattern, jacquard technology makes the pattern and fabric integrated, not easy to fall off, more durable than printing; strong durability, anti-pilling, anti-static, not easy to deform, etc., with a breaking strength of up to 4.9-5.7cN/dtex, it remains in good condition after repeated washing; the design is diverse, with patterns covering geometry, flowers, animals, etc., adapting to different style needs.
Jacquard support cards are widely used. In the clothing field, they are suitable for making autumn and winter jackets, coats, scarves, gloves, etc. In the home field, they can be used for sofa covers, cushions, blankets, etc. They are also commonly used in high-end toys, car interior accessories, etc. During maintenance, it is recommended to professionally dry clean genuine wool products. Imitation leather and blended products can be gently hand washed with neutral detergent. The water temperature should be controlled below 30°C. Avoid exposure to the sun and contact with sharp objects. Store in a dry and ventilated place to prevent snagging and mildew.
With its exquisite craftsmanship and excellent performance, jacquard tocards have become a popular choice for autumn and winter fabrics, meeting the dual needs of fashion and practicality. Driven by the concept of environmental protection, jacquard tocards made of recycled materials are becoming a new trend in the industry.
