A natural beauty made for slow fashion, linen is another one of our favorites. This durable, absorbent, and biodegradable fabric is made from some of the strongest fibers in the world. It becomes softer and softer with each wear and wash. Derived from flax, this fabric requires minimal water usage and no pesticides. The flax used in our linen is generally sourced from Europe and is cultivated without any irrigation, making it an easy, sustainable choice. 

Cotton poplin has an enduring allure rooted in its perfect balance of crisp structure and soft comfort. Traditionally woven in a tight plain weave with fine horizontal ribs, this breathable fabric feels smooth against the skin while maintaining a polished, tailored appearance. Its lightweight, yet durable nature makes it a favorite for everything from sharp button-down shirts to our new favorite poplin pants, offering a silhouette that holds its shape without feeling stiff.

Most of our poplins are crafted in Omi, Shiga Prefecture, Japan, using traditional techniques. This poplin undergoes a meticulous pretreatment and dyeing process that gives it its signature "washed" character. Gently rubbed multiple times before dyeing, the fabric develops a natural wrinkle and an irresistibly soft, broken-in finish that feels as beautiful as it looks. Its firm elasticity lends crisp structure to each silhouette while remaining airy and lightweight against the skin. It is designed to be worn often, washed easily, and truly lived in.

This sustainable acetate reflects a thoughtful approach to both beauty and responsibility—and is fully biodegradable at the end of its life. Engineered to be soft, breathable, and moisture-wicking, it resists pilling and requires minimal care—making it an effortless choice for women who want a polished look that keeps up with their on-the-go lifestyle.

Its smooth surface creates garments that feel cool and comfortable even in warm weather. Beyond its tactile appeal, cupro’s ability to hold rich dyes gives it a luminous depth of color.
