1. Red & White Checkerboard Heart Jacquard V-Neck Cropped Top
Core Technical Specs
- Silhouette: Relaxed fit cropped knit top with a deep V-neck, 3/4 set-in sleeves (industry term for sleeves stitched to the body at the natural shoulder line, ensuring a tailored fit), and a contrast red ribbed hem. The cropped length (58cm for size M) hits at the natural waist, pairing seamlessly with high-waisted bottoms.
- Fabric: 70% Cotton 28% Polyester 2% Elastane Jacquard Knit (220 GSM). The blend delivers softness, breathability, and 2-way stretch, with a durable jacquard construction that weaves the checkerboard and heart pattern directly into the fabric (no surface printing, ensuring fade resistance and long-lasting detail). Customization options:
- Eco Upgrade: GOTS-certified organic cotton jacquard, or GRS-certified recycled polyester jacquard.
- Pattern Customization: Swap the heart-checkerboard design for brand-specific graphics, geometric patterns, or seasonal motifs (e.g., stars, polka dots).
- Color Matching: Pantone-matched red/white, or full palette swaps (e.g., navy/white, pink/white) to align with your brand’s seasonal palette.
- Key Construction Details:
- V-Neckline: 10cm deep V-neck (customizable 8–12cm) with 1.5cm contrast red ribbed binding, finished with twin-needle topstitching for durability.
- Sleeves: 3/4-length set-in sleeves (52cm for size M) with 3cm contrast red ribbed cuffs, reinforced with 5-thread overlock stitching to prevent fraying.
- Hem: 4cm contrast red ribbed hem, designed to hold its shape and resist rolling during wear.
- Seams: Flatlock stitching on side seams to reduce skin irritation, with bartack reinforcement at stress points (shoulders, cuffs).
- Branding Options: Discreet woven label at the back neckline, or subtle chest embroidery (water-based threads to preserve jacquard texture).

Factory Technical FAQ
Q: What is the difference between jacquard knit and printed fabric?
A: Jacquard patterns are woven directly into the fabric during production, making them more durable, fade-resistant, and tactile than surface prints. This ensures the heart-checkerboard design remains intact after 30+ washes.
Q: Can we adjust the cropped length to a full-length top?
A: Yes. Our pattern team can extend the hem length to 68cm (standard full length) while retaining the contrast ribbed trim and jacquard pattern alignment.
Q: Can we use our own custom jacquard pattern?
A: Absolutely. We accept vector artwork for custom jacquard designs, with a minimum repeat size of 10x10cm to ensure production feasibility.
Q: Do you provide certification for sustainable fabrics?
A: Yes. We supply GOTS certificates for organic cotton blends and GRS certificates for recycled polyester blends, with full traceability documents.
