This page says which fabrics we actually use for each product type, taken from
2,856 order and invoice lines covering production from 2023 に 2026. It is a record
of what we buy and cut, not a list of what we could theoretically source.
Fibre composition by product type
Read the percentages as the share of order lines in that category using that fibre — not as the
blend ratio inside a single fabric. A category at “cotton 86%” means most orders in it were cotton,
not that the cloth is an 86% cotton blend.
| Product type | Fibres used, by share of orders | Lines |
|---|---|---|
| シャツ | コットン 86%, ビスコース 4%, modal-viscose 3% | 440 |
| バッグ and pouches | コットン 78%, ポリエステル 22% | 67 |
| ドレス | コットン 65%, modal-viscose 9%, ポリエステル 8%, ビスコース 6% | 738 |
| トップス and tunics | コットン 64%, ポリエステル 12%, ビスコース 8%, コットンリネン 5% | 121 |
| Kimonos | コットン 58%, ポリエステル 39%, シルク 3% | 31 |
| スカーフ | コットン 57%, ポリエステル 25%, ビスコース 5%, シルク 5% | 419 |
| カフタン | コットン 55%, ポリエステル 40%, ビスコース 3% | 417 |
| ショール | コットン 53%, ウール 38%, ビスコース 3% | 58 |
| Pareos and sarongs | コットン 48%, ポリエステル 48% | 197 |
| スカート | コットン 47%, ポリエステル 20%, ビスコース 12%, modal-viscose 11% | 75 |
| Trousers | コットン 41%, ポリエステル 22%, コットンリネン 13%, ビスコース 12% | 69 |
| Shorts | Cotton-linen 40%, コットン 33%, ポリエステル 15%, ビスコース 12% | 52 |
| Co-ord sets | Cotton-linen 92% | 60 |
| Stoles | ポリエステル 72%, シルク 21%, ビスコース 4% | 85 |
| Fouta towels | Cotton-polyester 73%, コットン 27% | 11 |
Three things a sourcing manager can take from this table. Shirts and bags are effectively a
cotton programme. Stoles are the one category where polyester dominates, because the drape buyers
want in a stole comes from a synthetic. Shawls are the only category with meaningful wool, で 38% の
orders.
Cotton voile constructions
For woven cotton, construction is a tighter specification than weight. Two fabrics can share a
GSM and handle completely differently. These are the cotton voile constructions we hold and buy
against, expressed as ends by picks per inch:
- 100 × 100 — the finest and most closely woven of our standard voiles
- 92 × 80
- 76 × 76
- 72 × 72
- 70 × 90
A higher thread count gives a smoother surface, better print definition and a crisper hand. あ
lower count gives a softer, more open cloth that drapes more readily and costs less. For a printed
scarf where fine detail matters, 100 × 100 is the usual choice. For a relaxed kaftan or a beach
cover-up, 72 × 72 または 70 × 90 is normally the better fabric and the better price.
We have supplied GOTS-certified organic cotton greige voile in an 80 × 100 construction against a
mill transaction certificate. Certified material is sourced from certified mills — see
certifications and
コンプライアンス.
Other bases we work in
キャンブリック, ポプリン, slub, lurex and viscose lurex, ビスコース, モーダル, レーヨン, linen and cotton-linen,
シルク, ウール, ジャカード, ポリエステル, シフォン, サテン, crepe and crinkle finishes.
Weight and GSM
We publish a GSM only where we have a tested figure for that specific quality. Our silk printed
scarves run at 28 そして 30 GSM. For our other qualities we confirm the tested weight
per quality at quotation stage, against the actual roll, rather than publishing a range that may not
match what your order is cut from.
If your tech pack specifies a GSM, send it and we will match it to a quality and confirm before
サンプリング. If you are working the other way round and want a recommendation, tell us the garment and
the season and we will send swatches.
Fabric consumption per piece
Useful for costing before you have a pattern. These are actual consumption figures from a recent
programme in cotton voile and cambric:
| 衣服 | Metres per piece |
|---|---|
| Long dress | 5.5 – 6.0 |
| ドレス, lurex | 5.0 |
| 着物 | 4.0 |
| ジャンプスーツ | 4.0 |
| シャツ | 3.5 |
| Trousers | 3.5 |
| Kimono or shirt, キャンブリック | 3.0 |
| Towel | 2.0 |
| トップ, ポプリン | 1.5 |
| Bag | 1.0 – 1.5 |
| Hat | 1.0 |
Consumption varies with size range, print repeat and pattern efficiency. Treat these as a costing
starting point, not a guarantee.
Choosing a fabric
- Print definition matters most — higher thread count voile, or silk.
- Drape matters most — ビスコース, modal-viscose, or a polyester satin or
シフォン. - Texture matters most — slub, crinkle, コットンリネン.
- Price matters most — lower thread count voile, or polyester where the hand
allows it. - Warmth matters most — ウール, for shawls.

Compiled 9 August 2026 from our order system and fabric ledger. Fibre shares are calculated
から 2,856 order and invoice lines with a stated composition. Where we do not have a tested figure —
GSM on most qualities — this page says so rather than estimating.
