GBSB Ep5 Inspiration: Working Out Athleisure
From activewear and French terry to technical fabrics and appliqué, we're taking inspiration from Sports Week on The Great British Sewing Bee
Remnant - ITA Collection - Cashmere - Lusso (1.77m) This item is non-returnable/non-refundable.
Fabulously dark, almost black Italian wool and cashmere coating with a softly brushed finish that gives the surface depth and quiet richness. The subtle mix of yarns creates a refined tone rather than a flat black, making it a sophisticated choice for timeless outerwear.
Woven in Italy at 152cm wide, this midweight cloth blends 80% wool with 20% cashmere for warmth, softness and structure. The brushed finish enhances its handle while retaining enough body for tailored coats and jackets. Originally produced for Valentino, this is genuine designer deadstock - a rare opportunity to sew with high-end surplus cloth that would otherwise go unused.
Alan says - "Listen closely, I’ll say this only once. Here’s a rare chance to get your hands on some of the finest wool fabrics straight from Italy’s top mills. These luxurious woollens have graced high-end fashion house collections - no names, but trust me, they’re exceptional."
