TEXTILE ILLUSTRATIONS

Choose an illustrated patch in Guadeloupe

A pattern can change the character of a garment or accessory. Our iron-on woven patches feature our illustrations in a small textile format, to be chosen for their design and the item you intend to apply them to.

A woven patch, a complete design in itself

On a woven patch, the threads form the motif. The design is therefore part of the textile material. The thermoadhesive backing allows it to be fixed on a compatible surface by following the application instructions.

First choose an illustration you like, then check the dimensions on its product page. The space available on a pocket, a cap panel, or a bag is not the same: the size matters as much as the subject represented.

Motifs related to our original collections

Our patches extend the graphic universe of Atelier Karaïbes. Animals and characters become details you can wear every day. exclusive collaboration with Nerko Ink is part of this identity, inspired by Les Saintes, Guadeloupe, the sea and nature.

Each reference keeps its own design. Look at the visual and characteristics of the model presented in the collection before choosing: an illustration available on a T-shirt does not necessarily exist as a patch.

Choose a compatible fabric before applying

An iron-on patch is not automatically suitable for all materials. First check the label of the garment or accessory. If the item cannot tolerate the required heat, do not iron it on.

La forme du support compte aussi. Un panneau de casquette demande un appui adapté à sa courbure ; une visière ne doit pas être chauffée. Notre patch application guide gathers the instructions to follow and care advice after application.

A textile souvenir from Les Saintes or Guadeloupe

A patch is a way to carry an illustration without choosing a clothing size. Before gifting it, however, consider the item it will be applied to. You can also discover our caps and their patches to choose an association already presented.

Useful answers

All questions
Can I apply a patch on fabric that cannot withstand an iron?

Do not heat-iron it if the label on the support does not allow the required heat. A sewn attachment may be suitable if the fabric allows it; however, it pierces waterproof coatings.

Check the application advice
Do I need to remove the backing layer of the patch?

Keep the thermoadhesive layer. Only remove the presentation card and any small adhesive dot before following the application steps.
