Made from a substantial double-layer cotton poplin, it has an unusual hand that feels almost like soft lambskin leather — smooth, supple, and wonderfully substantial, with a subtle surface sheen.
A fabric that looks charmingly simple but feels surprisingly luxurious.
Hand & Drape
This is not your typical lightweight cotton poplin.
At approximately 230 gsm, the double-layer construction gives the fabric a substantial feel, with a lovely balance of structure and softness.
It has a smooth, slightly lustrous surface and an exceptionally soft, almost buttery hand reminiscent of supple lambskin.
Despite its softness, the fabric retains enough body to hold beautiful shapes and defined silhouettes.
It feels plush and gently cushioned rather than stiff or papery, offering a particularly interesting combination of softness, substance, and structure.
The fabric is ideal for garments that need a little architectural shape without sacrificing comfort.
Think soft structure rather than rigid stiffness — beautifully substantial, yet wonderfully comfortable.
