Our highly experienced technical teams push boundaries in performance fibres as well as new and specialized finishes for your brand's unique look. Fabric contracts are pre-produced at the mill, ensuring clarity of communication and agreement on the required standards for colour, touch, appearance and quality

We source and develop a rich range of fabrics reflecting our product diversity - from fit for purpose synthetics, bottom weight denims and good value poly-viscose bases through to highest quality natural yarns, chiffons, silks, prints and embroidered textiles for aspirational clothing. We are one of the few suppliers with our own technical teams who monitor mill production and testing at every stage of the process, from prototyping to full manufacture. Mill release and shipping to the factory are only permitted once your fabric has been approved to pre-agreed standards.

This minimises risk and enhances the speed of production, achieving a competitive delivery rate for your business.
