New vertical slubs and crosshatch weaves lend character to the fabric. Dynamic washes bring energy to the color gradients. 2/1 weaves provide a paper-like touch in a vintage look. The shirting fabrics recall the die-hard attitude of the pioneer era, while a lighter version of their iconic slouchy fabric offers flexible softness.

»We carry the planet in our hearts. Fabrics made from natural fibers and through regenerative farming methods are the focus of this season's collection.«
It consists of fabrics produced with special consideration for sustainable practices and supplemented with new articles each season. Cellulosic fibers from certified and controlled sources, as well as hemp as an alternative to cotton, form the basis for blends of natural and man-made fibers that perfectly complement cotton. Traceable and 100% biodegradable, TENCEL™ Lyocell fiber imparts a natural smoothness and absorbs twice as much moisture as cotton fibers. This ensures breathability and reduces bacterial growth.
Sharabati’s denim and smooth fabrics are made from yarns that are a blend of certified organically grown Canalia hemp and regenerative cotton. The result is a durable, airy fabric ideal for summer. Hemp fibers can absorb up to 30% of their weight in moisture. All their new articles are made from regenerative cotton. This agricultural method preserves soils and ensures a better life for farmers. Soil fertility is improved while CO₂ emissions are reduced. At the same time, this method enables better water and energy management.

Modularity is not a new concept. For decades, it has shaped architecture, furniture and industrial design. Applying it to soft textiles, however, opens up an entirely new discussion.
Creativity and curiosity have always been our driving force. Our work evolves through prototypes—never finished, always raising new questions about materials, processes, and possibilities.
Both the fashion and textile industry often celebrates creativity. Yet many of the industry’s creative decisions are made long before a designer ever begins designing. Colour being one of them. The thing is, by the time a designer selects yarn, someone else has already determined the available colours, sequences and combinations. Choice exists, but only within boundaries.
“Through hands-on experimentation, I explore the potential of new surfaces and alternative forms of leather, aiming to reconnect human life with the natural world as an interconnected fabric.”
