Other Uses:
Accessories: Ideal for refined, structured accessories such as tote bags, shoulder bags, laptop sleeves, belts, caps and hats. The micro-houndstooth adds subtle graphic interest while remaining smart and understated.
Furnishings: While primarily a garment fabric, this suiting can also be used for light-duty home accents, such as cushion covers, boxed-edge seat pads, blind trims and draught excluders, where a crisp, tailored aesthetic is desired.
Upcycling: Excellent for scrap-friendly projects such as appliqué, patchwork or textile art. Offcuts can become contrast panels for garments, or be transformed into neat soft furnishings, fabric trays, coasters, or classic motifs like Scottie dogs, teddy bears and dachshund draught excluders.
