Jersey Knit

Single Jersey

What exactly is jersey? Single jersey is made by interlooping stitches in rows or columns. The front side, formed by knit stitches, is smooth, while the back side, made of purl stitches, has a ribbed texture. This distinctive knit structure is easy to recognize.

Jersey is very stretchy and tends to lose its shape easily. To prevent that, we've enriched our cotton and viscose jersey fabrics with a small amount of elastane (5%). This helps garments maintain their shape while keeping all the benefits of the fabric. It gently hugs the body without clinging too tightly, allowing for freedom of movement.

Single jersey knit is an incredibly versatile material. We primarily use it to make T-shirts, leggings, pyjamas, and dresses. It's also a perfect choice for children's clothing — durable, natural, and exceptionally comfortable for our active little ones.

Interlock Knit

In interlock knits, both the front and back sides look like the right side of jersey — smooth surfaces showing only knit stitches. These fabrics are lightweight and stretchy. Interlock is ideal for everyday and activewear. It’s soft, completely opaque, and can be used on both sides. The edges don’t curl when cut.

We use it to make clothing for our most delicate and demanding customers — newborns.

Sweatshirt Knit (French Terry)

Sweatshirt knit is soft and stretchy. It’s opaque, absorbs moisture well, and allows the skin to breathe. There are two main types: brushed and loop-back.

Piqué Knit

Piqué knit (informally also known as "Lacoste") is a soft, substantial, and slightly stretchy fabric with a distinctive texture on the right side. What sets piqué apart are its small, regular bumps or diamond-shaped patterns that create a three-dimensional surface, making it noticeably different from smooth knits. It also has a more matte finish. This knit is highly breathable, allowing the skin to breathe — perfect for warmer days. Piqué is durable and resistant to stretching and deformation, which means garments made from it retain their shape even after many washes.

Commonly used for everyday wear, piqué’s unique texture adds a touch of elegance, making it suitable even for more formal occasions. That’s why we chose it for our special children’s designs — especially shirts that combine comfort and refined style.













Woven Fabrics

Muslin

Muslin is made through a special combing process that gives the fabric its exceptional softness and lightness. It features a smooth, semi-sheer weave. In our collection, you’ll find natural muslin made from organic cotton — safe even for babies. It’s gentle, breathable, and helps prevent sweating and overheating, while effectively absorbing moisture.

A key characteristic of muslin is its tendency to shrink more than other fabrics after washing — typically between 5% and 10%.

Softshell

Softshell is a fabric mainly used in outdoor designs. Its outer layer is soft and flexible, ensuring comfort and freedom of movement. It offers excellent protection against wind and cold, shields from moisture and light rain, and is resistant to damage. Softshell fabric is also highly breathable, helping to prevent overheating and excessive sweating.

Take a look at the raw materials we use in our designs

Cotton

Cotton is one of the most commonly used materials in the textile industry — thanks to its many advantages, high yield, and low production cost. It’s a plant-based fiber, obtained from the cotton plant. After the flowers bloom and wither, seed capsules form in their place. These capsules are filled with soft, fluffy fibers that resemble tiny cotton balls — this is where cotton fibers come from, which are later spun into the yarns we use in our knits.

Cotton is also biodegradable and renewable, making it an eco-friendly raw material.

Cotton knit is exceptionally comfortable to wear, easy to wash and iron, and makes garments durable — helping them look great for a long time.

Key Benefits of Cotton:

Cotton fibers are breathable, helping to regulate body temperature by preventing both overheating and chilling. Cotton doesn’t pill or fuzz, making it a favorite for those who appreciate easy-care clothing. Its resistance to high temperatures makes it especially suitable for children's clothing, where increased hygiene is essential. Cotton products are recommended for everyone — including people with sensitive skin — as the fabric is gentle and non-irritating.

Cotton is the primary raw material in our production. We use it to make T-shirts, long sleeves, vests, hoodies, sweatpants, leggings, shorts, dresses, pyjamas, skirts, as well as reversible scarves and hats.













Bamboo Viscose

Bamboo viscose is a fabric made from a natural raw material using a synthetic process. It’s derived from bamboo — a plant with numerous advantages. Bamboo is highly efficient, being one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth. Its cultivation doesn’t require harmful chemicals or pesticides, as it naturally possesses antibacterial properties that protect it. The processed fibers from bamboo stalks are transformed into bamboo yarn, which serves as the base for creating soft, comfortable knit fabrics.

Benefits of Bamboo Viscose Knit:

Delicate bamboo viscose is suitable even for sensitive skin. Thanks to the addition of elastane, the fabric adapts well to the body and easily returns to its original shape. It's important to handle wet viscose with care, as the fibers are much weaker when damp. To keep bamboo viscose garments in good condition, wash and spin them gently.

We use bamboo viscose to make bodysuits, pyjamas, dresses, and headbands.













Merino Wool

Merino wool takes quite a journey — from Merino sheep all the way to your wardrobe. This exceptional fiber challenges the traditional view of wool: it doesn’t itch and is incredibly soft! As unbelievable as it sounds, anyone who’s worn it will agree. That’s thanks to its ultra-fine fibers, which can be as thin as 11–18 microns.

Other advantages of merino wool:

We use merino wool mainly to make winter hats, scarves, neck warmers, and turtleneck collars.
