Materials & Fibres

Cotton

Natural plant fibre composed primarily of cellulose, obtained from the seed hairs of Gossypium plants. Breathable, soft, and widely used across all garment types.

Linen

Natural plant fibre from the bast of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum), composed mainly of cellulose. Strong, cool, and prone to characteristic creasing.

Hemp

Natural plant bast fibre from Cannabis sativa stems, composed primarily of cellulose. Durable, coarse, and used for sturdy textiles and industrial materials.

Jute

Natural plant fibre from the bast of Corchorus plants. A lignocellulosic bast fibre used mainly for coarse textiles and industrial materials.

Sheep Wool

Natural animal fibre composed of keratin, obtained from the fleece of domestic sheep (Ovis aries). Insulating, elastic, and moisture-wicking.

Cashmere

Fine undercoat (down) fibre obtained from certain breeds of goats. Exceptionally soft, lightweight, and warm — considered a luxury fibre.

Mohair

Natural fibre composed of keratin, obtained from the fleece of Angora goats. Known for its smooth surface, luster, and durability.

Alpaca

Obtained from alpacas (Vicugna pacos), a South American camelid. Soft, warm, and hypoallergenic — naturally lanolin-free.

Camel

Fine undercoat fibre from the Bactrian camel. Naturally insulating and soft, typically used undyed in its characteristic tan color.

Yak

Fine fibre from the undercoat of domesticated yaks (Bos grunniens). Comparable to cashmere in softness, with strong insulating properties.

Silk

Natural animal protein fibre composed mainly of fibroin, produced by silkworm larvae (Bombyx mori) during cocoon formation. Lustrous, smooth, and strong.

Full-grain leather

Uppermost layer of the hide with the natural grain fully preserved. Retains original collagen fibre structure — maximum strength, durability, and develops a patina over time.

Top-grain leather

Upper hide layer with the grain partially corrected (sanded or buffed). More uniform surface than full-grain, somewhat reduced durability.

Split leather

Fibrous lower layer of the hide after the grain is removed. Weaker than grain layers; often used for suede or as a backing material.

Suede

Split leather or the flesh side intentionally sanded to create a nap. Soft, matte texture — less water-resistant than smooth leather.

Velour leather

Suede-type leather with a relatively long, soft nap, produced by deeper sanding of the flesh side or split layer. Plush texture, softer than standard suede.

Nubuck

Full- or top-grain leather lightly sanded on the grain side. Retains the grain's strength while gaining a velvety surface — more durable than suede.
