Carnival
The Carnival bunch is a vibrant collection defined by bold, dynamic colours with exceptional depth and visual impact. Woven from a refined blend of mohair and wool, the cloth has a distinctive texture and natural lustre that brings clarity and brightness to each shade. The presence of mohair also provides excellent breathability and natural crease resistance, helping garments maintain a polished appearance throughout the day while remaining comfortable to wear. At 270gms/9.5oz, Carnival sits at an ideal weight for warm-weather tailoring, making it a popular choice for summer occasions.
Presented in a range of striking plains, the bunch offers colours that make a confident statement while retaining a refined character.
