Description
A refined textured criss-cross cotton dobby offered in three graduated indigo shades, all dyed on the same high-quality base cloth. At 122 GSM, this is a lightweight, breathable fabric with more presence than basic shirting due to its dobby-engineered surface. The subtle criss-cross relief creates depth and shadow, while the indigo palette introduces a timeless, layered character — from pale wash to deep saturated blue. The result is a weave-led, craft-forward textile that feels modern yet heritage-minded.
2) How It’s Made
This fabric is woven on a dobby loom, where the criss-cross texture is created structurally through controlled floats and differential interlacements rather than embossing or printing. The base yarn is 32s count cotton, woven in a 100×64 construction, then dyed in indigo across three depth variations on the same cloth. The finish is clean and garment-appropriate, preserving crisp definition in the dobby while keeping the hand soft and wearable.

Clean, dry cotton touch with a lightly sculpted surface from the dobby pattern. The drape is airy yet composed — light enough for summer wear, but with enough body to hold shape in structured silhouettes. The dimensional weave adds interest without stiffness.
