Fabric Details +
Name: Organic Cotton Twill
Composition: 100% Organic Cotton Twill
Description & Certifications: Our Organic Cotton Twill is perfect for those cooler months when we need a little extra warmth from our clothes. It has more substance and structure and is a little hardier for winter. All of Palava’s organic cotton is grown, spun and printed in Turkey.
Dyes: OEKO-Tex Certified Dyes
About the print: This fabric has been held in our archive for many years, saved for the right moment. The print has a depth and richness that gives it a strong, hard-wearing feel.
Originally designed over 20 years ago by Penny, the animals are drawn in a simple, pared-back style, scattered across a deep navy ground. The figures feel instinctive and ancient, reminiscent of cave drawings, as though uncovered beneath peat moorland in a long-forgotten landscape.
An archival print brought back into use, chosen for its durability, character, and quiet strength.
About the Style: Cynthia is the shirt dress of our dreams; featuring a pretty mandarin collar that can be worn up or turned down, three-quarter length sleeves, a belted waist, deep pockets, and a full skirt.
Our Cynthia dress creates a classic silhouette that looks flattering on a variety of figures thanks to the nipped-in waist. All our dresses also use Corozo nut buttons - no plastics round here! Our Cynthia has a slider belt. These combine timeless simplicity with a perfectly polished fit.
Who Made Your Dress? Cynthia is ethically made by Satnam and his team in our London factory. For more information on the fabrics we use at Palava, click here.
