Superior fabrics through traditional craftmanship
An alternative to mass and industry produced materials are handcrafted fabrics. With handmade fabrics, it is possible to realise specific and more labour-intense customer demands, then would be feasible in mass production. Because there is no need for creating necessarily big volumes in short time spans, it is possible for manufacturers to focus on quality and artisanship. Tradition is a big part of the production and sometimes only stays alive through these companies.
