Cotton

A fabric made from a natural fibre. Important because of its softness and absorbency.

Silk

A unique natural fibre produced from the silk worm which feeds on Mulberry leaves The filament produced is extremely lustrous and soft Its absorbent and soft qualities make it an ideal fabric for nightwear

Polyamide

Formally known as Nylon, Polyamide is a man made fibre, which is an incredibly versatile. It can be transformed into many different lingerie fabrics and colours. Because it is man made it can be produced in what we call microfibres (lots of tiny fibres)which add softness to fabrics Nylon has a low moisture absorbency, which enables garments made from it to dry very quickly.

Polyester

Polyester is also a man made fibre with very similar properties to Polyamide. When Polyester is blended with cotton it enables marl colour effects to be achieved as well as combining the softness of cotton with crease resistance of polyester

Viscose

Viscose originates from cellulose and converted in to a textile fibre. Formally known as Rayon this fibre has really come into its own since the development of Viscose / Elastane blends which combine Viscose’s draping property with the softness produced when combining with elastane Viscose historically has been prone to creasing but modern fibres are used for their wonderful draping qualities. Other fibres produced in a similar way to Viscose are Modal and Lyocell.

Elastane

A very durable synthetic fabric with elastic properties A soft, smooth, and supple synthetic fabric, which is only needed in very small quantities, blended with other yarns to add softness and stretch. Used in lots of our products to aid comfort and fit and is very important to the shape retention after washing and wearing. Lycra is a trademark for the elastane fibre
