We continue to expand our RAVIAL ECO collection by adding more patterns to our ECO-BAIKALA recycled polyester crepe fabric that we already introduced in 2021 and to which we have added new patterns according to the new season.
Its great versatility and characteristics(it does not wrinkle, has a lot of drape and is cool), make it a very comfortable fabric to work and wear.
Thanks to our printing service and corresponding bases, we have developed some beach kits, to combine as you like , consisting of swimsuit, towel, beach outfit and matching bag.
Swimwear fabrics
We have two printing bases with which you can create swimsuit sets for the whole family.
Composition made with the drawing 2023520 in two colors, 0705 and 0003.
Fabrics for dresses and beach shirts
We have a wide variety of bases with which to make beach dresses, but in this case we choose our crepe base ECO-BAIKAL or knitted base ECO-PARAYAS, depending on the style you want.
If last week we reviewed the colors that are trending this season, today we analyze what dresses or styles to wear, as well as the textures in fabrics.
Two-piece outfit
Fashion is in circulation and always comes back. And it is the case of the two-piece sets, either pants or skirt.
Balloon sleeves, puffed, with shoulder pads or volume at the bottom. This is what this season's guests look like. A guest who seeks to balance the silhouette playing with the volumetric, both in skirt and shoulders.
Following the previous trend, we see how the asymmetry has also taken over the season. With which we can also combine other currents of the season, such as the sleeves with volume that we saw earlier, or the purple tone, also fashionable color.
For this style, we can opt for any of the classics mentioned above, or opt for other classics such as ADINA, a satin crepe, or the ARANCHAmodel, a satin with which we can give body to our confection.
We finish this review with an ideal trend for those events where high temperatures are the protagonists. In this case, we will opt for fresh and light dresses, where we feel comfortable.
For this type of dresses, we can go for a plain, but we can also opt for a print. Either way, the vaporous style will give us a romantic and delicate touch.
As every year, we review what colors will be trendy in the main events of the summer. Whether for a wedding or a communion, an anniversary or a housewarming, as well as any special occasion.
While it is true that yellow is a color that requires courage, this year the main catwalks have been filled with this shade. A lively and cheerful color that will highlight the brownest skins.
If we want to give a romantic touch to this tone, we will choose a vaporous fabric such as a chiffon. Or a fabric that adapts to the body, if we want something more extreme.
Its dark tone makes it an ideal solution for those evening looks, which many equate to the effect that in other seasons made the navy blue, chocolate brown or some varieties of grays and blacks.
On Tuesday, 21 June 2022 at 11:14 a.m., summer officially began in Spain.
If at the beginning of the year we presented the season's novelties, today we want to talk about those thinner fabrics, ideal for these temperatures.
Natural fabrics are a great ally when it comes to dressing cool. And of course, every year three types stand out above the average: viscose, cottons and linens.
Viscose fabrics
This is a soft, light and drapey fabric that is normally used for summer garments such as dresses, blouses or scarves, for example.
We finish this review with the third coolest natural fibre for summer: cotton. A fabric that we can also find in its multiple versions: plain, printed, embroidered or perforated.
We finish this selection with a fabric that, although it does not come from natural fibres, is just as fresh for the summer. An ideal solution for all those wash-and-wear garments: shirts, trousers, beach dresses?
Model ECO-QAMIZ: This is a a light and elastic article in one sense, very pleasant, which could be defined as a Crepe Marocain. Very fine marocain-like touch. With 62% recycled in the composition (GRS), it is a silk-like fabric with lycra, slightly wrinkled.
A fabric that could be similar to our ECO-BAIKAL model,but nevertheless, they are two different series. The main difference is that the ECO-BAIKAL modelhas more weight and more drape compared to the ECO-QAMIZ model.
In the last post we talked about colors that are trending this season. Today we continue this trend analysis with the most popular textures and prints.
Prints that are trending in 2022:
This year 3 prints predominate above the rest: stripes, animal print and flowers. We analyze them one by one, looking at the options that Ravial puts at your disposal.
Although horizontal and sailor stripes are a classic, this year vertical stripes predominate. A resource that stylizes and that we will see on any application: evening dresses, swimsuits, accessories...
Otro de los estampados que ya lleva años en primera fila -y parece que aún no va a cambiar- es el animal print. Sobre todo, en su versión más atigrada.
Although every year flowers take a prominent place in the season, this year they come in all shapes and colors: big, small, more or less colorful... They wear them all!

The Modern Vintage aesthetic does not refer to a single print, but to the inspiration of certain prints that remind us of the wallpapers that decorated homes during the 60s and 70s.
We have developed several designs that, thanks to our printing service, you will be able to print on the base you like the most.
There are transparencies of all kinds, more or less discreet, depending on the person who wears it. They can be totally transparent shirts, as in the image. Or transparencies that occupy only sleeve and back.
We finish the analysis of these trends with a fabric that will make us billiards: el satén, tal como leemos en este artículo de SModa El País: «La moda quiere que recuperemos el brillo: el satén lo invade todo».
Whether to wear a shirt style or to go elegant without giving up its freshness, this year satin is a good choice.
Although May is popularly known as the month of celebrations, in recent years we have seen how this season is extended throughout the spring and summer.
Therefore, aware of the high temperatures and how difficult it is to dress for these occasions, we present a series of cool fabrics, ideal for such events, following the colors of the season.
Colors that are trending in 2022:
Beyond the classic colors for guest, every year ready-to-wear fashion underlines certain shades. This summer , pink tones (from pastel to fuchsia), greens, white and mauve stand out. And in terms of styles , the "color block" and pastel shades. Let's take a look at them:
Pink colors
It is a good opportunity to rescue all those shades of pink from our closets that, depending on the year, do not fit on the season. Because this year anything goes: we can recover the shade of pink that suits us best.
Linens, chiffons and white or ecru cottons are a must must for every spring-summer. A fresh and very summery option that is reiterated every year, due to its comfort and summer spirit. The options are many:
This is a cheerful and positive color ideal para llevar en nuestros eventos veraniegos. Así mismo, puede ser un color llevado como total look o combinado con otros colores. En Ravial disponemos de una gran variedad de opciones, en liso y estampado:
We start by explaining what is "color block": a style where we combine a look of a single tone. It can be of the same color, combining two contrasting tones or looking for colors of the same family. In this post of the website Lookiero you will find more information about it (link in spanish).
As we mentioned at the beginning of this post, pink in its pastel -or powdered- shade is gaining popularity this season. But it is not the only shade, but yellows, greens or blues in their more pastel face also take prominence.
Likewise, we also incorporate new models for the smallest of the house. The PANDA, which allows repetition. And the POPCORN and SCREEN. with Warner license and prints of Harry Potter, Space Jam and Batman
In the images, some of the new prints of the PANDA model; Reference: 03882. 100% cotton fabric with various prints.
Images left to right and top to bottom:

As mentioned above, this is a cotton fabric with digital print and Warner Bros. license, from Harry Potter, Batman and Space Jam. Both models allow repetition.
We continue with the natural trend for this presentation, with a selection of rayon and viscose yarn effect, giving the feeling of linen, but giving up its characteristic wrinkle.
We start with the RACHEL series.A slightly elastic article (5%), made of polyester (68%) and cotton (27%), placing this portion of cotton in the part that is in contact with the skin. This ensures a pleasant and comfortable contact.The visible or outer part is satin and allows sublimation, so we have been able to develop several drawings:
In the images, some of the new prints of the RACHEL modelReference: 02198 Printed and elastic satin fabric.
This is a very versatile article, which can be used for a wide variety of garments, such as pants or flamenco dresses. In some ways it is similar to our MADISON models., although thinner.
Another satin to which we have expanded the range of prints, is our KIRA model.A soft satin, very nice and with fall, ideal for blouses and dresses.
In the images, some of the new prints of the KIRA model.; Reference: 03722. Soft satin fabric.
Another new print is our SERENA model. It is a very drapey crepe, ideal for summer and all those wash-and-wear garments: shirts, pants, beach dresses...
In the images, some of the new prints of the SERENA model; Reference: 03617.
This series is printed on our TORA base, so that smooth-patterned combinations can be made::
Another most interesting novelty this season, is the new RAVIAL ECOsolution. A new model with 62% recycled in the composition (GRS).
It is a light andelastic article in one sense, very pleasant. It is ideal for spring/summer blouses and dresses, which could be defined as a Crepe Marocain. Very fine marocain-like touch.
In the images, some of the new prints of the ECO-QAMIZ model; Reference: 03836. Recycled silk type fabric with lycra, slightly wrinkled.
A fabric that could be similar to our ECO-BAIKAL model,but nevertheless, they are two different series. The main difference is that the ECO-BAIKAL modelhas more weight and more drape compared to the ECO-QAMIZ model.
In the images, some of the new prints of the ECO-BAIKAL model,; Reference: 03808. Recycled crepe fabric with drape.
A novelty that we presented relatively recently, but that has already conquered everyone's heart. It is a soft and drapey crepe crepe. A delightful item that this season arrives with new prints:
In the images, some of the new prints of the OLALLA model; References: 02452, 03682 and 03854. Soft and drapey bi-elastic fabric.
High temperatures have arrived and with them, the need to look for a very fresh outfit. For that reason, we are going to review today the basic fabrics to survive the summer:
Rayon and Viscose
Known as artificial silk, rayon is a great choice for summer. And although it is not a natural fabric, its thin threads bring us that much-needed freshness. Soft and pleasant to the touch with a great drape.
Images left to right and top to bottom:
ESTEPONA; Reference: 03087/56-0003. Soft 100% RAYON fabric with Pucci print and lots of drape.
FACTORY-N; Reference: 03683/16-0710. Fine 100% RAYON fabric with lots of drape and floral print.
FUENGIROLA; Reference: 03690/11-0011. Soft 100% RAYON fabric with lots of drape and small flower print.
Its sister Viscose also provides the same freshness, as well as lightness, comfort and softness. The difference is that viscose is a cellulosic acetate..
Images left to right and top to bottom:
HASINA; Reference: 03758/02-0110. 100% VISCOSA fabric, soft and with a lemon print.
Perforated fabrics , also known as Eyelet, are those fabrics that have small holes in their shape that give shape to the fabric and allow air to pass through. They are usually made of 100% cotton, so they are very cool and breathable.
Cotton fabrics have the characteristic of absorbing humidity and transpiring. It is a natural fiber, good conductor of heat, very durable and easy to wash with which to make dresses, blouses or pants, for example.
Surely one of the classics of every summer, thanks to its comfort and freshness. Made of natural fiber, it is a heat-conducting fabric, of vegetable origin and static-free.
TUYEN; Reference: 03335-0101. Plain fabric 55% LINEN and 45% RAYON.
DALADALA; Reference: 03472/01-0301. Soft fabric 55% LINEN and 45% VISCOSA, with lobster print.
And if what worries us is the wrinkling of the linen, we can opt for solutions that include linen in its composition or other fresh compositions that are thread effect, such as these:
Model NATASHA, reference 00774. This is our classic crepe, with a lot of drape. These latest models have been improved providing a softer touch and a more matt colour..
Model Model ESTEPONA, reference 03683. 100% rayon fabric, fine and drapey. This fabric has a semi-digital print that allows for a greater variety of colours.
03087/53
03087/54
Tencel
Model FUENGIROLA model, reference 03690. 100% rayon fabric, fine and with a lot of drape. This fabric has more weight and more quality , with a touch imitating tencel.
We start by analysing which colours will be the big winners this season.In addition to grey and yellow, shades that Pantone decreed as the colours of the year, we discover:
Pink, Pastel Pink and Fuchsia
This colour associated with femininity will be the protagonist fortwo-piece ensembles and cocktail dresses.Also in men's fashion,looking for that so called "new masculinity".
It seems that sky blue is coming out of the surgical masks and onto the catwalks. It arrives in an optimistic and fresh key to evoke blue summer skies.
Pantone describes it as "warm, bright and cheerful, generating vibrancy and effervescence". And we couldn't agree more. That's why this year it will triumph in all its shades:
Many say that the pandemic has brought an awareness and appreciation of nature. Proof of this is a more sustainable fashion and a spring of green shades.
