Fibre
Our cotton is grown in the USA.
Fabric
Corduroy is made by weaving extra sets of fibre into the base fabric to form vertical piles, it makes soft and versatile fabric. Corduroy fabric has a long history- first created in ancient Egypt, then adapted by the British monarchy and re-discovered by 70’s bohemians, it is still one of the most loved natural autumn/winter fabrics. In this cord, a checked pattern is woven into the base fabric which gives it an interesting subtle check effect. Yarns are dyed before creating the fabric which gives them solid even colouring.
Factory
We have been working with our partners based in China to develop this fabric all the way from the yarn to the finished product. We have been working with Cong and Sunny since 2014 and they have been specializing in linen textiles for generations. Their innovation and impeccable quality mean we can bring our ideas to life and develop special woven fabrics using all-natural fibres.
