Fabrics & Materials

Fabric decides everything.

The right cotton makes a corporate shirt feel premium on day 300, not day 1. The right denim ages into a brand's signature wash. This page documents the fabric library we work with — and the use-cases each one is engineered for.

In short

We work with a deliberately curated fabric library — 11 families, 22 commonly used variants — instead of an open catalogue. Each fabric is pre-vetted on shrinkage, GSM consistency, and colour-fastness before it earns a place in client samples. Below is the working library, organised by family, with weights and typical use-cases.

How we choose a fabric

Two garments built from the same pattern can feel like entirely different products if the fabric is wrong for the silhouette. A 110-GSM cotton poplin gives a crisp, structured A-line skirt; the same skirt cut in a 90-GSM rayon challis becomes a fluid, drapey midi. Neither is better — they are different products.

Our fabric recommendations always begin with the question what should the garment feel like on the body, and how should it age. From there we work backwards to weight, weave, blend, and finish. Sample fabric swatches are sent before sampling begins, so the brief is anchored to physical handfeel, not a name on a spec sheet.

Sustainable & certified fabrics

We support GOTS-certified organic cotton, Oeko-Tex Standard 100 declarations, and Tencel/Lyocell programmes for brands committed to a measurable sustainability story. These programmes typically require a longer fabric lead time (4–6 weeks) and chain-of-custody documentation, both of which we coordinate end-to-end.

For brands exploring a sustainability angle for the first time, we recommend piloting with one or two SKUs before scaling. This page's fabric library evolves continuously — new additions are sampled internally for three months before they become available to client programmes.
