Our Upcycled Materials

Linen is one of the oldest and most enduring fabric weaves, and also one of the most durable. Made from 100% linen, our linen canvas is soft, supple, and features a naturally irregular texture, ideal for casual wear. As a fiber, linen has a low environmental impact, requiring minimal water and pesticides to produce. Sourced from the dormant stock of a major manufacturer, this fabric further reduces its environmental footprint.

Made from 100% cotton, our textured cotton canvas features an irregular surface reminiscent of linen. Cotton is naturally breathable and comfortable, helping to regulate body temperature throughout the day. Equal parts casual and refined, this navy cotton canvas is sourced from the dormant stock of a major fashion house and woven in Italy.

Canvas is one of the oldest and simplest fabric weaves, and also one of the strongest. This version, made from a blend of linen and silk, features a subtly irregular texture that strikes a balance between casual and refined, while always remaining elegant. We selected this off-white linen and silk canvas, woven in Italy and sourced from the dormant stocks of a luxury fashion house. The fabric is thick enough to avoid being too sheer, yet light enough to remain comfortably breathable and fluid.

Naturally stretchy and water-resistant, gabardine is a robust fabric thanks to its tight weave. Designed to endure and soften over time, it's particularly well-suited for jackets and coats. We selected an upcycled wool gabardine from Nona Source: made of 100% virgin wool and woven in Italy. In an elegant off-white shade softer than pure white this gabardine is thick enough to ensure opacity while maintaining a refined drape.

Velvet is a twill or plain weave fabric in which loops are formed by the additional integration of yarns, either in the warp or the weft. The loops are then cut to form the soft surface typical of velvet fabric. Made here from 100% cotton, our cotton velvet is characterized by a soft pile with a velvety surface, slightly shiny, but not too much.

Naturally robust and waterproof, gabardine is a tightly woven fabric known for its durability. Designed to last and soften over time, it is particularly well-suited for jackets and coats. We’ve chosen a repurposed wool gabardine from Nona Source, sourced from the dormant stocks of a major European luxury house. Made from 100% virgin wool and woven in Italy, this navy blue gabardine is ideal for creating timeless, long-lasting pieces meant to be worn often and for years to come.

Twill is a fabric weave similar to gabardine, one of our favorites, but with a finer, more supple appearance. To round out our wardrobe, we chose an anthracite wool twill that’s perfectly suited for mid-season wear. Sourced from the dormant stock of a major fashion house, this fabric is made from 100% wool and woven in Italy. Comfortable yet elegant, it’s ideal for pieces designed to be worn time and time again.

Naturally stretchy and waterproof, gabardine is a tightly woven fabric that makes it very sturdy. Made to last and soften over time, gabardine is particularly suitable for jackets and coats. We have chosen a recycled wool gabardine from Nona Source: made from 100% virgin wool woven in Italy.

Duchess satin is a luxurious satin-weave fabric known for its smooth, lustrous appearance. Contrary to popular belief, satin is often made from synthetic materials like polyester. Ours, however, is an upcycled duchess satin sourced from Nona Source, made of 100% silk and originating from Italy. Its substantial weight provides excellent structure, while the silk offers a rich, elegant sheen.

Slightly thicker and more matte than our original black grain de poudre, this 100% wool version comes from Japan. Like all our fabrics, it is sourced from the dormant stocks of a major luxury house. Grain de poudre is a noble fabric with a distinctive matte finish, woven from finely combed wool yarns. It is the fabric par excellence for tuxedos and refined evening wear.

Also known as Barathea, grain de poudre fabric is a noble fabric with a matte appearance, woven from finely combed wool threads, sometimes blended with mohair. It is the fabric of choice for tuxedos and tailcoats, as well as for evening blazers. We have chosen a grain de poudre fabric from the deadstock of luxury houses: it is 100% wool and comes from Italy. The wool gives it a very elegant look, with a contemporary matte finish - fine enough to allow freedom of movement in the material and thick enough to guarantee a perfect drape.
