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.
This fabric gets its name, Dobby, from the dobby weave that gives it so much character. It is made on a special dobby loom that allows the weaver to create dainty, geometrical designs – in this case, tiny dots. Each dot has a satin finish that contrasts beautifully with the matte plain-woven background. In a beautiful play of light and shadow, the dots appear either lighter or darker against the surrounding fabric, depending on the angle at which they are viewed.
The color Ocher is a beautiful color that combines warm tones of gold and brown. Its golden tones are reminiscent of fallen leaves, ripening grain and the setting sun, making it the perfect color for an autumn palette.
This fabric is made of EcoVero in a fine, plain weave. It has a gentle drape and is very comfortable, perfect for tops, dresses, and full skirts. Because EcoVero breathes and has a slight cooling effect, it can stand up to hot weather or an overheated interior.
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.
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.
If we recommend pre-shrinking for a particular fabric, we generally say so in the product description. As a rule, 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.
