Tricot Expertise: Premium Jersey, Rib, Interlock and Sweat Fabrics Made in Portugal
Tuesday 2 September 2025
At Edberg Fashion we specialise in creating sustainable tricot fabrics that combine technical excellence with exceptional comfort. From lightweight jersey to structured interlock, from stretchy rib to soft sweat fabrics, we develop and produce every material locally in Portugal in collaboration with the country’s most skilled knitters.
By working closely with trusted partners who share our commitment to quality and ethical production, we ensure that each fabric meets the highest standards, from fibre selection to final finishing.
What Makes Tricot Fabrics Special
Tricot fabrics are knitted rather than woven, which gives them a natural stretch, breathability and softness that make them a favourite for a wide range of garments. They move with the body, offer excellent comfort and can be adapted to different weights and textures depending on the style.
At Edberg Fashion we develop custom tricot fabrics to match the exact needs of our clients’ collections, whether for timeless wardrobe staples or fashion-forward designs.
Our Tricot Specialisations
Jersey
Smooth, lightweight and versatile, jersey is ideal for T-shirts, dresses and everyday essentials. We work with cotton, organic cotton, blends and sustainable fibres to create jersey fabrics that feel as good as they look.
Rib
With its distinctive vertical lines and excellent stretch recovery, rib is perfect for cuffs, collars, fitted tops and body-hugging garments. Our rib fabrics offer comfort and durability without compromising on style.
Interlock
A double-knit construction makes interlock thicker, more structured and smooth on both sides. This premium quality is perfect for elevated basics, sportswear and garments where a clean finish is key.
Sweat
From cosy fleece to breathable French terry, our sweat fabrics offer softness, warmth and durability. Ideal for hoodies, sweatshirts and loungewear, they are developed for comfort that lasts.
Local Development with the Finest Portuguese Knitters
All of our tricot fabrics are developed and produced locally in Portugal. We collaborate with highly experienced knitters, many of whom are family-run businesses with knowledge passed down through generations.
This local approach allows us to:
- Maintain full control over quality and consistency
- Ensure ethical working conditions and sustainable practices
- Reduce transport emissions by keeping production close to home
- Offer flexibility for both small and large production runs
Custom Development for Your Brand
We believe that every collection deserves fabrics that reflect its identity. That is why we offer:
- Exclusive colour development
- Custom weights and textures
- Sustainable yarn options
- Fabric testing for strength, comfort and colourfastness
From the first concept to the finished roll of fabric, we guide our clients through every step of the development process.
