Product Details

Polyester viscose satin brocade fabric, known in the trade as Lucas material, blends a 95% polyester and 5% viscose yarn on a satin weave to give a smooth, high-sheen face and a subtly figured, brocade-style surface. The small viscose share softens the hand and lifts the drape, making it a familiar choice for garment makers and fabric wholesalers serving the East African market.

MH supplies this Lucas fabric at 253 gsm with a 150 cm usable width, and the weight, ground color, and figured pattern can all be adjusted to a buyer's brief. The decorative surface and consistent luster suit traditional and ceremonial dressmaking where a formal, prestige look matters.

Cloth is delivered on rolls, polybagged with a woven outer bag for export protection, so bulk quantities travel and store cleanly through long shipping lanes.

Features

• Satin weave face — delivers the smooth, reflective surface buyers expect from occasion and ceremonial cloth.

• Brocade-style figuring — the raised Lucas patterning gives visual richness without a separate print process.

• 95/5 polyester-viscose blend — combines polyester durability and shape retention with a softer viscose hand.

• 253 gsm mid-weight — enough body for structured robes and skirts while staying comfortable to wear.

• 150 cm width — a full cutting width that improves marker efficiency for garment producers.

• Color-fast synthetic base — holds saturated tones through wear and laundering for resale confidence.

Application

• Traditional dress — Sourced by East African garment makers for robes, skirts, and formal attire.

• Ceremonial and occasion wear — Popular with tailoring workshops for wedding, festival, and celebration outfits.
