$9.68Excl. VAT
Description
A refined, ultra-soft Bengal muslin distinguished by its signature red selvedge, this lightweight cotton is the epitome of elevated simplicity. Woven to a fine 75 GSM, the fabric balances breathability with subtle structure, making it ideal for warm climates, heirloom sewing, and thoughtfully crafted garments. The clean, crisp selvedge adds a touch of artisanal character that couture makers and slow-fashion designers will appreciate.
This is not a basic voile or utility muslin — it is a carefully finished, high-grade Bengal muslin with a polished handfeel that drapes beautifully while retaining enough integrity for tailored silhouettes.
HOW THE FABRIC IS MADE
Crafted from long-staple cotton fibers, spun into fine yarns for smoothness and durability
Woven in a plain muslin weave, ensuring even airflow, softness, and versatility
Finished with a distinct red selvedge, a traditional mill hallmark that enhances aesthetic value and prevents fraying at the edges
Lightly refined, preserving a natural, breathable feel rather than a stiff, coated finish
