Made to order and special commissions

The made-to-order couture collection starts from small meterages. Designs come in their existing colourways, or colours, qualities and textures can be adapted to a specification. For special commissions, Jason D'Souza can conceptualise, design and sample a fabric developed for one scheme, and oversee its weaving or printing.

Past commissions include the re-creation of a fabric for an opera house scene in the film Anna Karenina and a soundproofing fabric for a cinema room.
