Cotton is a natural fibre valued for its breathability, softness and durability. Comfortable across a wide range of climates, it is one of the most widely used fibres in clothing and can be woven into fabrics ranging from crisp poplin to soft jersey.

Crochet is an open textile construction made by interlocking loops with a hooked tool rather than by weaving or conventional knitting. Its visible stitches create a distinctive handmade appearance, often with large open spaces and repeating motifs. In fashion, crochet is commonly used for dresses, tops, skirts and accessories.
