Barèges

Barèges, mixed tissues adapted for women's dresses, called in France Crêpe de Barèges, first manufactured at Luz, in the Pyrenean valley of Barèges, but now principally produced at Bagnères de Bigorre. Bareges are usually a mixture of silk and worsted; an inferior kind being composed of cotton and worsted. They vary in colour, and are sometimes light in tint, with printed patterns. All are of a slight fabric for summer wear.
