All our fabrics - Grey - Checks

Design checks

Geometric shapes are the most common motifs for printing on fabric — especially on cotton canvas from the DIANA or Diana SOFT collection with a softer finish, or cotton sateen, poplin and Elmosa flannel, where the first and foremost motif is of course the check, inherently associated with flannel. Filter our wholesale offer with printed checks by color, weight and the desired wholesale quantity, because checks are in fashion almost all the time. The check as a motif is not boring, it is playful, and combines well with unicolour fabrics – take a look at our UNI unicolour fabric collection.

The fashion industry has specific names for the different sizes of the repeating checks design: The classic one is the shepherd's check – a tiny check pattern popularized by Christian Dior; the Glen plaid or Esterhazy combines the basic shepherd's check pattern with patterns of white, red or otherwise colored threads; then there is the Scottish plaid (tartan), Vichy etc.. The check is simply a fashionable, ageless phenomenon and evergreen.

Do you have your own design or signature check motif and need to apply it to fabric for your project or workshop? Contact us — we print any motif on fabric according to individual requirements.

Grey fabrics are neutral because they’re created by mixing two opposites: black and white. Grey fabrics are symbolic of compromise and reduce the intensity of colourful textiles in their surroundings. They look cautiously and inconspicuously. The fact that dirt is less visible on grey fabrics is also a great positive, which is why they’re often used in places with a high risk of getting dirty.
