Luxury Ex-Designer Speckled Suitings
A very limited collection of special suiting fabrics
These superb-quality, ex-designer Italian-made fabrics feature a composition rarely seen: a refined blend of wool, silk & linen. Each fabric is distinguished by its own unique constellation of speckles (silk neps) that are subtly scattered throughout, giving every length its own character.
This exceptional collection combines ex-designer pedigree with cleverly woven compositions and finished with a refined flecked texture. These qualities come together to create garments that feel considered, elevated, and truly special.
Limited Availability
Sourced as surplus from the fashion industry. Super sustainable, but very limited stock. This is deadstock fabric, not repeatable once sold out.
These exceptional ex-designer suitings are ideal for creating polished, wearable garments. Their unique compositions offer a stable structure with an elegant drape and soft handle, making them suitable for both classic tailoring and modern silhouettes.
Wool Silk & Linen Composition Information
All of our speckled suitings are predominantly wool, with some featuring linen in the base cloth, and each showcasing delicate silk neps for added texture and interest. More detailed composition information can be found within each fabric’s product description.
Caring for Fine Wool Fabrics
These exquisite fine wool fabrics are prized for their tailored structure, durability, and natural performance. Wool is a resilient fibre that responds beautifully to simple, thoughtful care, allowing garments to maintain their shape, handle, and appearance over time. While we don’t always receive fabric-specific care instructions from the mill, we share best-practice guidance based on our experience to help you care for your fabric with confidence.
Care at a glance: Dry clean recommended. Wool suitings rarely need frequent washing and are easily refreshed by airing between wears or with gentle steaming. When pressing, use a pressing cloth and avoid high heat. If you plan to dry clean the finished garment, dry cleaning the fabric prior to sewing is advised.
