Paris Jersey Knit Fabric – Elegance Meets Everyday Comfort
Paris jersey knit fabric is a refined and fashion-forward version of classic jersey, known for its soft hand, fluid drape, and slightly luxurious feel. Often made from polyester, rayon, and spandex blends, Paris jersey is designed for comfort with a touch of sophistication—ideal for dresses, tops, tunics, skirts, and fashion separates that need movement and stretch without sacrificing style.
At Fabric Base Inc., we stock a curated selection of Paris jersey knit fabrics in an array of solid colors, prints, and finishes, all available at wholesale prices from our Los Angeles warehouse.
What Is Paris Jersey Knit?
Paris jersey knit is a lightweight to medium-weight stretch fabric made from fine yarns, typically in a polyester blend. It offers a smoother texture and more fluid drape than basic cotton jersey, with a slightly silky finish that makes it ideal for modern fashion collections.
It’s called “Paris jersey” not because of where it’s made, but due to its popularity in European-style designs that favor elegance and soft silhouettes.
