Fabrics and Qualities for every need

As every Customer has different needs on our Fabrics, we supply many different Materials. The Base builds an Cotton Warp, where many different Materials can be added. We are very sorry, but it is impossible to show you every colour and material combination we can provide. With over 200 colours in every material (cotton, silk, viscose/rayon, metal spun yarn, real spun gold, …) this would be highly impractical, but we are always happy to hear about your wishes and needs.

Theatre / Stage Brocades

(short: TB)

Our Brocades are manufactured in a pattern of your choice, in 160cm width-panels. Stage Brocade is comprised of black or white warps (mercerised cotton) and wefts of diverse fibers (50% lurex and 50% rayon/viscose in most cases). Lurex creates an intense sheen and brilliant long-distance effects. In general, Stage Brocade is suitable for stage or carnival costumes, as well as decor and ornamental uses.

Traditional / National Costumes

Our clients are firmly rooted in their customs and traditions which is especially notable in the various German “Trachten” (formal national / folk costumes with detailed, handed down patterns). We believe in the importance of this cultural heritage, offering a range of fabrics with characteristic, historical patterns that are executed in traditonal materials and colors. These fabrics are individually manufactured according to your specifications, highlighting the precious look and value of every individual costume. Wefts: viscose, rayon, cotton or wool (optionally).

Paraments
