Setting the Tone for the Season
The start of the year has been marked by a renewed appreciation for craftsmanship and design detail. As more creators seek fabrics that combine personality with versatility, the spotlight has shifted to textiles that not only perform but also tell a story through their surface, structure, and finish.
In this January/February 2nd Monthly Drop, we are focusing on two standout categories that have been driving both interest and engagement in the Marketplace. Powered by Tengiva:
Patterned Textiles – bringing visual rhythm, cultural references, and brand-defining style.
Twill Fabrics – valued for their durability, drape, and timeless appeal across categories.
Patterned Textiles – The Art of Visual Storytelling
From bold geometrics to subtle jacquards, patterns continue to define narratives in collections worldwide. This month’s featured carousel showcases the patterned textiles that have captured the imagination of our sourcing community. Each piece blends creativity with material integrity.

Patterns are seasonless in their appeal and suitable for apparel, interiors, and accessories.
The right patterned fabric can become a signature element of a brand collection.
