Next to skin
Begin with the details behind the texture.
- What is the full fibre composition?
- Is there a lining, and what is it made of?
- How would you describe the weight and surface?
THE FABRIC NOTEBOOK
Look closer.
Feel the difference.
A fabric name is only the beginning.
What it is made of, how it moves and how you care for it all matter.
OUR STARTING POINT
Fabric.
Form.
Feel.
We are interested in the whole wearing experience: touch, coverage, movement and everyday practicality. Ask about the exact item, rather than relying on a collection name or a photograph.
FOUR CONVERSATIONS WORTH HAVING
Beyond the first impression.
Room to move
Consider what happens beyond a still photograph.
- Does the fabric stretch, or is the ease in the cut?
- How does it sit when seated or walking?
- Can I see the item moving and in natural light?
Where you wear it
A warm afternoon and a cool interior ask different things of a wardrobe.
- Is it a light base or a substantial layer?
- What coverage do I prefer in this setting?
- For exercise, is the actual item intended for my activity?
After the first wear
Care is part of choosing a piece you will enjoy owning.
- What does the care label require?
- Can I see the washing and drying instructions?
- Does the care routine fit into my everyday life?
A NOTE ON MOVEMENT WEAR
A sporty shape is
only part of the story.
For a piece you plan to exercise in, ask about intended use, fit and coverage. Descriptions such as moisture-wicking, quick-drying or supportive need information about that specific product. Our style images do not establish those properties.
