Fold-over elastic (FOE) is a special elastic textile material designed to fold in half along the centre. It is used on the edges of underwear, lingerie, baby clothing, and swimwear, serving as both a band and a binding.

What sets it apart:

  • Folds at the centre — dual function as edge-finishing binding and band
  • Nylon + Lycra composition — soft, stretches and recovers, skin-friendly
  • Dyeing method — same colour on both faces, with even colour penetration
  • Designed for visible use in lingerie and underwear
