This page says which fabrics we actually use for each product type, taken from
2,856 order and invoice lines covering production from 2023 to 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Koszule | Bawełna 86%, wiskoza 4%, modal-viscose 3% | 440 |
| Torby and pouches | Bawełna 78%, poliester 22% | 67 |
| Suknie | Bawełna 65%, modal-viscose 9%, poliester 8%, wiskoza 6% | 738 |
| Najfatalniejszy and tunics | Bawełna 64%, poliester 12%, wiskoza 8%, cotton-linen 5% | 121 |

| kaftany | Bawełna 55%, poliester 40%, wiskoza 3% | 417 |
| Szale | Bawełna 53%, wełna 38%, wiskoza 3% | 58 |

| Spódnice | Bawełna 47%, poliester 20%, wiskoza 12%, modal-viscose 11% | 75 |
| Trousers | Bawełna 41%, poliester 22%, cotton-linen 13%, wiskoza 12% | 69 |
| Shorts | Cotton-linen 40%, bawełna 33%, poliester 15%, wiskoza 12% | 52 |

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, Na 38% z

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 X 100 — the finest and most closely woven of our standard voiles
- 92 X 80
- 76 X 76
- 72 X 72
- 70 X 90
A higher thread count gives a smoother surface, better print definition and a crisper hand. A
lower count gives a softer, more open cloth that drapes more readily and costs less. For a printed
scarf where fine detail matters, 100 X 100 is the usual choice. For a relaxed kaftan or a beach
cover-up, 72 X 72 lub 70 X 90 is normally the better fabric and the better price.
We have supplied GOTS-certified organic cotton greige voile in an 80 X 100 construction against a
mill transaction certificate. Certified material is sourced from certified mills — see
certifications and
zgodność.
Other bases we work in
Batyst, popelina, slub, lurex and viscose lurex, wiskoza, modalny, sztuczny jedwab, linen and cotton-linen,
jedwab, wełna, żakard, poliester, szyfon, satyna, 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 I 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
próbowanie. 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:
| Część garderoby | Metres per piece |
|---|---|
| Long dress | 5.5 – 6.0 |
| Sukienka, lurex | 5.0 |
| Kimono | 4.0 |
| Kombinezon | 4.0 |
| Koszula | 3.5 |
| Trousers | 3.5 |
| Kimono or shirt, batyst | 3.0 |
| Towel | 2.0 |
| Szczyt, popelina | 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 — wiskoza, modal-viscose, or a polyester satin or
szyfon. - Texture matters most — slub, crinkle, cotton-linen.
- Price matters most — lower thread count voile, or polyester where the hand
allows it. - Warmth matters most — wełna, for shawls.

z 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.
