Crinkle & Stretchy Cotton Fabrics
Some fabrics are made; these are crafted. Most of the crinkle fabrics in this collection begin long before the loom: we twist our own cotton and linen yarns in-house, building the texture into the thread itself. Working this way with natural fibres takes time and skill, and only a handful of makers in the world still do it.
The twisted yarn is then woven using an age-old technique on traditional looms that have been at work for generations. It is slow, patient craft: our looms weave no more than 70 metres a week. The result is a cloth with a natural, lasting crinkle and a gentle stretch that no shortcut can imitate.
No two are alike. Every one of these fabrics develops a texture of its own. It is shaped by the amount of twist given to the yarn, by the weaving techniques passed down through the centuries in the Anatolian region where each master weaver lives, and by the weaver's own imagination. Known in Türkiye as bürümcük, this cloth carries a long heritage. Read the story of bürümcük fabric on our blog.
Why the narrower widths? Most of these fabrics come in narrower widths than industrial cloth, simply because our traditional looms weave them that way. The width is a signature of the loom, and a mark of how each metre is made.
The true heroes of slow fashion. Made in small quantities, never in excess. These fabrics are for those who choose less but better, who say no to overconsumption, and who want to create and wear eco-friendly pieces with a story behind them.
Made for resort wear. Breathable, easy to care for and never in need of an iron, crinkle cotton is a natural fit for resort collections: relaxed, travel-ready pieces that look as good on the last day of the holiday as on the first.
Chosen by professionals. Conservatories, leading theatre schools, and opera and ballet companies use our fabrics for their productions. Costume designers, film productions and interior architects turn to them too. With its handwoven texture and timeless drape, crinkle cotton brings authenticity to stage and screen, especially ancient, historical and Roman-era productions, and it is equally loved for themed costume parties and editorial and fashion photo shoots.
Perfect for: resort and holiday collections; relaxed shirts and blouses, wide trousers, dresses and skirts, kaftans and beachwear, children's clothing, scarves and loungewear; theatre, opera and ballet costume; film and party costumes; photo shoot styling; interior design projects, light curtains and bedspreads.
