Fabric lookbook

Don’t just show fabric.Show what it becomes.

Linen

Plain linen is hard to sell flat. Cut into a shirt and trousers, its texture, colour and drape do the selling.

Why it sells

Show the garment, sell the fabric.

  • Buyers see scale and drape. On a body, the size of a print and the fall of a fabric are plain to see. On a flat swatch, buyers have to guess.
  • One fabric, many products. Show the same fabric as a dress, a shirt and a co‑ord, and each buyer finds the product they want to make.
  • Ready before you sample. Olli makes garment photos from your swatch photos, so buyers see the range before anything is cut.
