Materials Fall/Winter 2026

  • Materials with a strong sensory, technological and sustainable focus
  • The main trend is “tactile luxury”: materials that not only look good but also invite touch
  • Interplay of glossy and matte finishes -applied in defined areas- between suedes and patent leathers
  • Woven or braided leather, inspired by artisanal techniques, for luxury products
  • Hairy suedes, textured with coarse sanding, alongside very smooth and polished versions
  • Hair-on materials with new animal prints: cow, pony, zebra and giraffe
  • Engraved textures -reptile-, embossed and tooled, with duotone finishes
  • More eco-friendly synthetic substitutes, with a soft, rubber-like feel
  • Sheep wool, used not only for linings but also for accessories and uppers
  • “Washed” and aged finishes, with patina and worn effects, conveying a retro/vintage feel
  • ​Double-faced velvets and corduroy, with insulating backing
  • Cotton and polyester gabardines, plain and printed, with sublimated designs
  • Technical tear-resistant fabrics (aramid, ripstop, etc.) with linings and foams for thermal protection
  • Thick materials with tactile textures, blends of recycled wool and jacquard knits with metallic yarns, for a touch of nocturnal shine
  • Resin-coated canvases, aged and waterproof
  • Artisanal, rustic and heritage cloths, featuring striped patterns, tweeds and tartans
  • Brocades with raised designs and oriental patterns, incorporating supplementary colored or metallic yarns.
  • Fabrics that prioritize density, fiber quality and unique textures for luxury products.
  • The color palette moves away from strident tones, favoring natural and timeless hues.
  • Among them: chocolate, blue-grey, purple, moss and mustard.
