Luxury Garment Textiles, which can also be referred to as high-fashion haute couture, is a carefully selected and exclusive range of designer inspired fabric used by famous fashion houses in their high-end collections. These designer fabrics for dressmaking are very difficult to produce, but each piece is a unique work of unsurpassed quality and craftsmanship. The most exclusive of these fabrics are produced on complex and highly technical looms and knitting machines, and often offer the highly embellished artwork of schiffli embroidery, under very careful supervision as the intended destination of these fabrics is often a fashion catwalk.

THE SUBTLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LUXURY & DESIGNER FABRICS
A well-chosen base fabric is half the battle when designing high fashion. Developing decorative embroidery stitching, utilizing a variety of yarn applications, intricate design interpretation, adding sequins and eyelets can bring a well-chosen base fabric to the highest levels of luxury.
While sounding very similar, there is a difference between luxury and designer fabrics:
LUXURY FABRICS
Luxury fabrics often refer to the actual cloth that makes up said fabrics. Expensive weaving techniques used by the textile manufacturer, high thread counts and exclusive raw materials, such as cashmere, alpaca and vicuna are factors one must consider when classifying luxury fabrics for clothing
DESIGNER FABRICS
Designer inspired fabrics or one-of-a-kind fabrics used in Haute couture fashion. The impetus behind the designer inspired fabric is that each pattern or print bears the individuality of the designer who envisioned it. These fabrics are as unique as the clothing they go on to become
