Fil à fil summer look with snake appliqué
What makes our high-quality fil-à-fil fabrics special lies in their construction: thread by thread, colored viscose yarns are woven with white linen yarn to create a lively, delicate fabric. While the viscose gives the fabric a soft, flowing drape, the linen provides the typical natural structure and a pleasant dry feel.

For this design, the red fil-à-fil fabric was used again as a special accent in a decorative snake appliqué. Thanks to its fine structure and lively surface, the appliqué stands out beautifully and harmonizes with the other fabric color purple.

Especially for summer models, the quality shows its special effect. The fabric drapes lightly, yet has the characteristic feel and surface of a linen weave. This creates modern looks with natural elegance and comfortable wear.

The combination of natural linen look and fluid movement makes our
fil-à-fil fabric the ideal choice for:
summer trousers
- light blouses
- tunics
- dresses
- stylish two-piece sets
