Alternative products in the category Ramie and hemp:
This aqua ramie is plant-based fiber with qualities similar to linen. It is exceptionally sturdy, washes well, dries quickly, and is bacteria resistant. It is well suited to summer clothing in its lightweight versions. Mid-weight variants work well for kerchiefs and light trousers, as well as for home decor.
Compared to linen, ramie is slightly rougher to the touch, but at the same time it has a nicer drape and has a slightly silky sheen. It softens with every wash and gains in luster, but if handled carelessly stray fibers may come loose. We recommend laundering with care; avoid machine drying.
Wash dyed ramie at 40°C; white and natural fabrics can be laundered at 60°C. Iron on the highest setting; may also be steamed.
Generally, pre-shrinking is needed for linen, cotton, and rayon, but for finer fabrics (light rayon, Tencel and modal) proceed with care – don't use hot water or a hot iron, simply launder the fabric the way you will be laundering the completed garment.
Most of our fabrics are one-time offers that last until they are sold out. However, some more popular items are always restocked or can be ordered on request. As a rule, this applies to notions, where the selection is pretty consistent, but may also include some types of fabric. Look at the product's availability value – it shows whether the goods are available while supplies last, in the core inventory or in a seasonal collection.
The goods in the seasonal collection come directly from our verified manufacturers. We change up the colors on offer from season to season but fabric quality is always constant. For large (wholesale) orders, colors that have been sold out can be reordered individually.
Limited editions are fabrics of exceptional quality or patterns that have been designed and produced exclusively under the Sartor brand. As a rule, they do not repeat and are therefore only available while supplies last. Don't miss your chance to own a true original.
