To obtain the nonwoven fabric having a craped surface to exhibit a new surface form, excellent in mechanical characteristics and flexibility and having elasticity.
This composite nonwoven fabric comprises a filament nonwoven web layer and a synthetic staple fiber nonwoven web layer laminated to at least one surface of the filament nonwoven web layer. The filaments composing the filament non-woven web layer have a latent crimping ability, which is actualized. The staple fibers composing the synthetic staple fiber nonwoven web layer are three-dimensionally interlaced with each other, and the filaments and the synthetic staple fibers are three-dimensionally interlaced with each other to form a wholly integrated product. The composite nonwoven fabric is again subjected to a relaxation thermal treatment to form a craped surface.
