Chambray is a fabric made from either cotton or linen. It is woven with a white weft thread. The traditional Haitian version, called KARABELA, has a light blue shade and is woven with an indigo thread and a white thread, which gives it that characteristic "washed denim" look. Note that other colour variants also exist for this fabric. Chambray, or Karabela, is an easy-care material. It resists dirt and offers excellent comfort. Chambray is a very lightweight fabric, making it perfectly suited to classic, breezy wear that stays light and comfortable in any season..
