The Criterion

How a fabric makes it in

From the fair to the laboratory, every cloth runs the same gauntlet. The technique is only the means — the point is a fabric we would put our mark on.

The five steps
I

Sourcing

Among the mills we have come to trust, fair after fair.

II

Composition

Real data on every fibre — required, never assumed.

III

Review

Weight, weave and yarn, read by hand, fabric by fabric.

IV

Laboratory

Strength and composition put to the test before anything enters.

V

The Bar

Only what moves us — and clears every check — makes it in.

Held to the laboratory

Instinct, confirmed by data.

Before a fabric joins the selection, its strength and composition are tested and its origin recorded. The judgement starts in the hand — but it never ships on a hunch.

Full traceability: origin and real composition tracked for every mill we work with.
