This print was conceived in the French studio Atelier Brunette. Designer Annabelle Kumar’s timeless patterns escape the latest fads and draw on the artist’s own harmonious color palette. That means her fabrics always combine well and, if Annabelle’s color space is your cup of tea, you can be sure that you’ll always find something you like.
The Vera Blush pattern is a tribute to the cubist painter Vera Pestel, an influence that shows in the fine white lines and abstract dotted shapes that make it up. Its blush background and the subtlety of the motif make a soft, delicate impression, although on closer inspection this pattern is essentially geometrical.
The pattern is printed on a special type of crêpe known as crêpe gaufré, or embossed crêpe. After weaving, the crêpe is put through a special roller that gives it a tactile, raised design. The effect is so slight that you may not notice it at first glance (look closer and you’ll see that the fabric has a very fine rib) but it softens the fabric and improves the drape.
Crêpe gaufré is soft, light, breathable fabric. It is perfect for a blouse, skirt, or dress (especially for cuts that take advantage of the fabric’s drape – wrap-arounds, A-lines, and circle skirts) as well as for neck scarves and lounge or nightwear.
EcoVero is rayon’s eco-friendly cousin. The trademark, owned by Lenzing, is only applied to rayon viscose made to strict sustainability standards. The raw material is wood from sustainably managed forests. The manufacturing process itself, from tree to fiber, has been optimized to minimize its impact on the environment. In terms of water consumption, chemical use, and overall carbon footprint, EcoVero rayon is the most ecological textiles currently available, surpassing even other environmentally friendly rayons such as modal and lyocell. What’s more, it’s entirely recyclable!
Machine wash cool (30°C). Iron on cotton setting. This is a very fine fabric, use a low spin cycle – gentle handling will extend its lifespan.
Generally, pre-shrinking is needed for linen, cotton, and rayon, but for finer fabrics (light rayon, Tencel and modal) proceed with care – don't use hot water or a hot iron, simply launder the fabric the way you will be laundering the completed garment.
Most of our fabrics are one-time offers that last until they are sold out. However, some more popular items are always restocked or can be ordered on request. As a rule, this applies to notions, where the selection is pretty consistent, but may also include some types of fabric. Look at the product's availability value – it shows whether the goods are available while supplies last, in the core inventory or in a seasonal collection.
The goods in the seasonal collection come directly from our verified manufacturers. We change up the colors on offer from season to season but fabric quality is always constant. For large (wholesale) orders, colors that have been sold out can be reordered individually.
Limited editions are fabrics of exceptional quality or patterns that have been designed and produced exclusively under the Sartor brand. As a rule, they do not repeat and are therefore only available while supplies last. Don't miss your chance to own a true original.
