In a repeating unit of a two-layer fabric, a first upper surface side warp forms a first upper surface side warp design. A second upper surface side warp forms a latent portion in which the second upper surface side warp passes between the two layers of the fabric. A first lower warp binding yarn and a second lower warp binding yarn form first and second knuckles respectively by passing over one or two upper surface side wefts at a position not adjacent to two knuckles of the second upper surface side warp in the latent portion. The first and second knuckles are formed at different positions. The first lower warp binding yarn, second upper surface side warp and second lower warp binding yarn cooperatively form a second upper surface side warp design similar to the first upper surface side warp design.
