Here you'll find all the materials in our collections from A to Z – with feel, drape, use, care and a concrete selling point. Every fabric name is clickable: one click shows you all the items made from that material (B2B login required).

All materials from A–Z
Bamboo →
Soft knit made from bamboo viscose, obtained from the cellulose of the bamboo plant. The feel is silky and flowing, the fabric gently hugs the body and drapes softly along the silhouette. Bamboo viscose is breathable and temperature-balancing, warming in cool conditions and cooling in warm ones – ideal for shirts, dresses and close-fitting layering pieces worn directly on the skin. Gentle wash at 30 °C, dry flat or hanging. For your customer, this is the fabric that feels almost like a second skin and stays comfortable all day long.
Batik →
Every piece is one of a kind: hand-dyed gradients and patterns make batik a statement in the layered look. Because no two pieces are alike, your customer is guaranteed to wear something no one else has – a strong selling point against interchangeable mass-produced goods. Wash separately and cold to preserve the character of the colours. The line for your customer: "No second piece is exactly like this one – it's your very own one of a kind."
Cotton →
The natural all-rounder among fibres: gentle on the skin, breathable and pleasantly hard-wearing. Cotton absorbs moisture well and feels comfortable in every season without scratching. Depending on the weave it drapes softly and fluidly or with a little more body – versatile for blouses, shirts, dresses and easy-going layering pieces. It is robust and forgiving to care for, machine wash up to 40 °C. This is the uncomplicated everyday companion that your customer can wear often without a second thought.
Bengaline →
A densely woven quality with a fine crosswise rib and a stretch content. It shapes the silhouette and holds its fit – the first choice for trousers. The stretch content allows freedom of movement without the fabric losing its shape, and the dense weave conceals reliably. That way, a pair of trousers fits just as well after hours as it did when you put it on. The line for your customer: "These trousers hold their shape all day – they don't go baggy at the knees."
Boucle →
A woven or knitted fabric made from bouclé yarn with characteristic little loops and nubs. The lively, textured surface looks high-quality and charmingly conceals contours rather than emphasising them. Boucle has a pleasant body and structure – ideal for little jackets, waistcoats and structure-giving layering pieces that add substance to a look. Gentle care recommended, ideally hand wash or a wool cycle and dry flat. A fabric that looks upmarket and flatteringly skims the figure – an easy selling point at the counter.
Boucle Knit →
The knitted version made from bouclé yarn with a particularly cosy, nubby structure and often a fine mélange effect. The knit is soft, warming and stretchy, gently hugs the body and wears comfortably. This makes it the eye-catcher among winter qualities – perfect for jumpers, jackets and warm layers. Best washed gently by hand or on a wool cycle and dried flat. A piece your customer will immediately want to touch – warmth and texture in one.
Chiffon →
A gossamer-light, slightly sheer fabric with a fine, grainy feel and a wonderfully flowing drape. Chiffon sways with every movement and layers feather-light without adding bulk. Ideal for elegant blouses, wraps and festive accents in the layered look, happily worn over an opaque base piece. Because the fabric is delicate, a gentle wash in a laundry bag and hang-drying are recommended. With this, your customer adds a light, feminine accent that instantly feels festive.
Crash →
A fabric with a permanently built-in crinkle structure. Lively looks and extremely easy care – ironing is completely unnecessary. The structure is intentional and stays forever, so every piece is ready to wear again right after washing. Crash creates wonderful silhouettes in an oversized cut. The line for your customer: "Here the wrinkles are intentional – just fold it up after washing and put it on."
Crinkle →
A lightweight fabric with a fine, permanently set crinkle structure – noticeably more delicate and even than the bolder Crash. The surface looks lively while the fabric stays airy and falls softly into folds. Ideal for summery blouses, tunics and flowing layering pieces that come out of the suitcase wrinkle-free. Ironing is completely unnecessary – after washing, simply pull into shape and let dry. The uncomplicated summer companion your customer wears without an ironing board.
Crushed →

The fabric is light and easy to wear – lovely for eye-catching blouses, skirts and statement layering pieces. Absolutely forgiving to care for: no ironing, just let dry after washing. A fabric with character, where every fold is part of the design.
Fine Knit →
Fine stitches, a light feel: warms without bulk and combines wonderfully in the layered look.

The line for your customer: "It warms discreetly from within and doesn't add bulk under anything."
Faux Fur →
Fluffy faux fur with plenty of volume and a soft, high-pile surface – entirely without real animal fur. The fabric warms both visually and to the touch and sets an opulent accent that immediately catches the eye. As a waistcoat, collar or jacket it is the statement piece for winter collections and the deliberate counterpoint to flowing layers. Do not wash – best aired out and gently brushed so the pile stays loose. A piece that shines in the shop window and invites the customer to reach out and touch.
Flannel →
A softly brushed fabric, usually made of cotton and often in a classic check. The lightly brushed surface traps warmth and feels instantly familiar and cosy.

Warmth without weight, with a look that instantly gives an outfit structure.
