Stretch: Very high.
Sheer Jersey
Our sheer viscose jersey is our signature fabric with just the right amount of sheerness and stretch, which allows us to create unique ephemeral silhouettes that you wouldn’t find elsewhere.

Stretch: Very high.
Lightweight French Terry

Ponte/Punto di Roma
Wonderful for both fitted and loose garments, Ponte offers a flattering fit so you can focus on more important things than constantly tugging and readjusting.

French Toledo Yarn
Our Toledo, or wool-mix, is the thickest selection of our yarns. Of French origin, this yarn is a balance of 20% alpaca wool and 80% acrylic fibers - making it soft to the touch and more comfortable on the skin than traditional wood yarns.
Care: Dry clean only.
Stretch: Mid stretch.
Organic Cotton Jersey
Our 100% French organic cotton is breathable and airy. Used for many of our tees and casual shirts for an elevated look and luxurious feel.

Midweight French Terry
Our Midweight French Terry sweatshirt fabric has so much to offer, including sustainable construction and lasting quality wash after wash. Complete with a brushed French Terry inner layer, it’ll keep you warm and cozy through any chilly day.

Italian Virgin Wool
Our 100% virgin Italian wool is nothing short of a dream—part of its production involves being boiled, giving it a noticeably felted appearance. Our Merino wool, both the French Merino wool mix (20% Merino wool, 80% acrylic) and the 100% Italian extra fine Merino wool, are of fine fibers resulting in soft, lighter, and more flexible garments. Its extra-fine construction makes it prone to pilling, so be sure to treat your wool garments with a bit of extra love.
Care: Gentle care required—dry clean only. Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry. Dry flat when needed. Iron on low heat.
Stretch: None.
