Whether you're looking to create a stunning showstopper or a classic basic garment; we’ll be looking at some of the up-trending fabrics for spring/summer 2023, as well as how you can use them. Sustainability remains a big message for this season and our certified Eco-friendly range offers many items. Keep it natural with our Linen Rayon blend and 100% Linen wovens in white, soft neutrals and a tonal or natural stripe. Tones of Fatigue, Coral and a splash of Hot pink and Chartreuse colours are also in the mix. These fabrics are perfect for relaxed ladies, kids and menwear styling. Another tactile sensation of natural origins in earthy shades are introduced with our soft and beautiful luxurious Bamboo / lycra knit as well as our famous Viscose/Lycra in all the colours of the rainbow. Both fabrics have a Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification confirming the raw materials for our bamboo and viscose items were sustainable sourced. The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) unite citizens, businesses, governments, and NGOs under a common goal: protecting healthy, resilient forests for all, forever. This season the trend for rayon wovens is blended with a little nylon. Look out for our Nina, in both classic and fashion colours with a beautiful drape and subtle shine! The blend offers the best of both worlds, the comfort of rayon with an understated sheen. Denim on Denim, produced from natural fibre cotton, is an edgy new look and our 100% cotton Chambray and light weight Denim is all you need to achieve the look!
