Lulu & Belle - fabrics

Our products are only as good as the materials they are made from. That's why we only use fabrics made from Olefin due to its perfect properties , complemented by an innovative PU coating on the inside for additional protection. But what exactly is Olefin and why does it fit so well with our products?

Olefin is a synthetic fiber made from polyethylene or polypropylene. It is a very versatile material used in a wide range of applications including clothing, car seats, household products and, increasingly, outdoor furniture .

Why does Olefin fit so well with our products?

One of the reasons we use Olefin as our preferred fabric is because of its excellent properties. Olefin fabrics are very durable and resilient . They are also colorfast and UV resistant , meaning they won't fade or lose their color even with prolonged exposure to sunlight. The PU coating adds an extra layer of waterproofing and dirt repellency, making Olefin ideal for garden furniture and other outdoor products.

The seam strength of Olefin combined with our PU coating is also impressive. This means our seams are strong and durable and will not fall apart or fray.

Shape stability : The PU coating on the inside allows the cover to "glide" better on the foam and therefore always returns to its desired position. This means that the seams are always at the corners and unsightly slipping of the cover is prevented.

Olefin also scores highly in terms of safety. It is non-flammable and meets the requirements of EN ISO 1021-1. It is also weatherproof and can withstand extreme temperatures and weather conditions.

Another important property of Olefin is its pleasant fabric feel . It feels soft and smooth and offers a pleasant lying/sitting experience with direct skin contact . It is also very easy to clean and antibacterial , which makes it an ideal choice for our products.

Last but not least: Olefin is also environmentally friendly . It is OEKO-Tex Standard 100 certified and REACH compliant. This means that it meets strict environmental and health standards and is safe for people and the environment.

In summary, olefin is an extremely versatile material with many excellent properties. It is durable, resilient, colorfast, UV-resistant, breathable, abrasion-resistant, water-repellent, quick-drying, seam-resistant and comfortable on the skin.
