What is MH Taffeta Fabric Used for

When it comes to lining materials that won't let you down, taffeta fabric is one of the most reliable choices out there in the textile industry. Taffeta fabric has been around for ages - it was first created in ancient Persia and the Middle East, which says a lot about its rich heritage in textiles. It's made from a range of different fibers, including silk, polyester, and nylon.

Known for its silky texture and crisp feel, taffeta fabric is widely used in bags, garments and pocket linings.

What is taffeta fabric?

Taffeta is essentially a finely woven fabric made out of polyester or nylon yarns. It comes with a tight, plain weave structure that gives it a shiny finish and a firm texture to boot. The fabric is light in weight but super strong, making it perfect for inner layers that need to be smooth and durable.

Over at MH, we've got a huge range of taffeta fabrics to suit all sorts of different needs. We use a mix of:

We've got loads of different taffeta fabrics available, including printed taffeta which can add some really interesting designs and patterns to your fashion and sewing projects.

Types of Taffeta Fabric

Taffeta is a real chameleon when it comes to fabrics - it's adaptable and can work just as well in high-fashion as it can in interior design. Each different type of taffeta fabric brings its own unique mix of texture, sheen and glamour to the table, which is why it's such a favourite with designers and manufacturers all over the world.

If you're after something that's durable and affordable, then synthetic taffeta is a great place to start. Made from polyester or nylon, these fabrics are light, strong and easy to care for, making them perfect for everyday clothing, linings, curtains and upholstery. They still give you a nice crisp finish and a nice, shiny surface, which makes them a great choice for both fashion and interior projects.

Beyond these main types, taffeta fabrics come in a range of different weights, from super lightweight options that are perfect for drapes and decorative accents to medium weight options that are great for making structured garments and upholstery. And with patterns like stripes and plaids on top of that, the possibilities really are endless. Whether you're making a wedding dress, some elegant curtains or some durable linings, there's a taffeta to suit every vision and every application.

Surface Finishes and Coating Options

To make our taffeta fabrics even more useful, we offer a range of different coatings and finishes:

• No-coat at all: Great for a very simple look and feel

• PA Coating (Polyamide): Adds a bit of extra water-resistance and body to the fabric

• PU Coating (Polyurethane): Makes the fabric even more waterproof and flexible, perfect for outdoor gear and apparel.

• Silver Coating: Adds a bit of extra reflectivity and helps keep things warm, great for functional clothing and protective linings.

These coatings don't just make the fabric look better, but also make it more functional, which is why our taffeta fabrics are such a hit with the fashion, luggage and outdoor industries.
