The story behind the textile.
Crepe describes fabrics with a characteristic pebbled or crinkled appearance. That effect may be created through highly twisted yarns, weaving methods or finishing, and crepe can be produced from many types of fibre.
Its tactile surface and movement make crepe a versatile companion to contemporary tailoring, from lightweight layers to structured pieces depending on the construction.
