What Is Lurex Fabric?

• Lurex is a type of fabric that incorporates
  metallic fibers, typically made of polyester,
  nylon, or a combination of synthetic materials.
  Lurex is a fabric that shimmers and dazzles with
  metallic allure.

This fabric is versatile, allowing designers to
incorporate it into various textiles, such as
knits, woven, or even as embroidery threads.
Lurex adds a luminous quality, producing a
metallic sheen that catches and reflects light,
creating a dazzling effect. Because of its
ability to create a luxurious and glitzy look,
lurex is often used in evening wear, party
dresses, accessories like scarves or bags, as
well as in costume design and stage performances,
where its reflective properties can enhance
visual impact under stage lights.
