This page says which fabrics we actually use for each product type, taken from
2,856 order and invoice lines covering production from 2023 do 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Košele | Bavlna 86%, viskóza 4%, modal-viscose 3% | 440 |
| Tašky and pouches | Bavlna 78%, polyester 22% | 67 |
| Šaty | Bavlna 65%, modal-viscose 9%, polyester 8%, viskóza 6% | 738 |
| Topy and tunics | Bavlna 64%, polyester 12%, viskóza 8%, cotton-linen 5% | 121 |
| Kimonos | Bavlna 58%, polyester 39%, hodváb 3% | 31 |
| Šatky | Bavlna 57%, polyester 25%, viskóza 5%, hodváb 5% | 419 |
| Kaftans | Bavlna 55%, polyester 40%, viskóza 3% | 417 |
| Šatky | Bavlna 53%, vlna 38%, viskóza 3% | 58 |
| Pareos and sarongs | Bavlna 48%, polyester 48% | 197 |
| Sukne | Bavlna 47%, polyester 20%, viskóza 12%, modal-viscose 11% | 75 |
| Trousers | Bavlna 41%, polyester 22%, cotton-linen 13%, viskóza 12% | 69 |
| Shorts | Cotton-linen 40%, bavlna 33%, polyester 15%, viskóza 12% | 52 |
| Co-ord sets | Cotton-linen 92% | 60 |
| Stoles | Polyester 72%, hodváb 21%, viskóza 4% | 85 |
| Fouta towels | Cotton-polyester 73%, bavlna 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, pri 38% z
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 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 alebo 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
súlad.
Other bases we work in
Cambric, popelín, slub, lurex and viscose lurex, viskóza, modálny, umelý hodváb, linen and cotton-linen,
hodváb, vlna, žakárové, polyester, šifón, satén, 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 a 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
odber vzoriek. 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:
| Odev | Metres per piece |
|---|---|
| Long dress | 5.5 – 6.0 |
| Šaty, lurex | 5.0 |
| Kimono | 4.0 |
| Overal | 4.0 |
| Košeľa | 3.5 |
| Trousers | 3.5 |
| Kimono or shirt, cambric | 3.0 |
| Towel | 2.0 |
| Hore, popelín | 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 — viskóza, modal-viscose, or a polyester satin or
šifón. - Texture matters most — slub, crinkle, cotton-linen.
- Price matters most — lower thread count voile, or polyester where the hand
allows it. - Warmth matters most — vlna, for shawls.

Compiled 9 August 2026 from our order system and fabric ledger. Fibre shares are calculated
od 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.
