Premium Italian Swimwear Fabric

Carvico Vita is one of Italy's most recognized premium swimwear fabrics, designed for sewists and brands looking for exceptional performance without compromising comfort. Manufactured by Carvico using regenerated ECONYL® nylon, Vita transforms recovered waste materials into a high-performance technical fabric that is both sustainable and durable.

Soft, smooth and incredibly comfortable against the skin, Vita offers excellent stretch and recovery while maintaining outstanding shape retention. Its muscle support, elegant matte finish and luxurious hand make it suitable for everything from competitive swimwear to everyday activewear.
