Our fabrics
OUR FABRIC SELECTION
The perfect balance, our signature
Behind every Grace & Mila piece lies a choice. Our teams regularly explore new materials, test them and consider what they can bring to our collections. A material's drape, feel, comfort, durability and appearance all help define a piece's identity.
This is how we move forward, season after season, with a simple ambition: to make better choices about the materials in our collections and create pieces made to be worn and to last, without losing sight of our standards and the balance we seek between style, quality and a fair price.
THE FIBERS WE FAVOR
Two complementary categories
We work with two main families of fibers, each chosen for its unique qualities.
Natural fibers — cotton, linen, wool — retain their original composition: cotton is chosen for its everyday softness, linen for its lightness and cool feel in summer, and wool for its warmth and natural flexibility.
Cellulosic fibers — viscose, lyocell, TENCEL™ Modal — made from processed plant-based materials, bring fluidity and a soft drape to naturally feminine silhouettes.
Whether natural or cellulosic, each of these fibers has its own feel, comfort, and drape, helping give our pieces their distinctive character.
CERTIFICATIONS FEATURED IN OUR COLLECTIONS
Choices we stand behind
Some of our materials carry independent certifications that set standards for their origin, production conditions or traceability.
The LENZING™ ECOVERO™ certification applies to viscose made from wood sourced from certified or controlled sources. Its production requires at least 50% less water and generates at least 50% fewer CO₂ emissions compared with generic viscose.
The RWS certification (Responsible Wool Standard) applies to wool from farms certified against criteria covering, in particular, sheep welfare and land management. It also ensures the traceability of certified wool throughout the supply chain.
RECYCLED MATERIALS IN OUR COLLECTIONS
A gradual integration
We are gradually introducing recycled materials into our collections, including recycled polyester and recycled wool.
This approach lets us give existing materials a second life. As with all our materials, we select them based on the same criteria: feel, drape, and shape retention. Recycled or not, polyester remains in some pieces for its practical qualities: durability, ease of care, and shape retention. We always use it thoughtfully, according to the product and how it is intended to be worn.
For every design, we seek the right balance between style, quality, practicality, and price.
Un brin de vert
Our Maison signature
In 2020, we created Un Brin de Vert, our in-house label identifying pieces in our collections that meet defined criteria for their composition. Today, a Brin de Vert piece must contain more than 50% fibers of natural origin, according to the criteria set by Grace & Mila.
Brin de Vert is a designation specific to Grace & Mila, not an independent certification. It reflects our desire to move our collections toward more natural materials, season after season. This gradual, transparent commitment reflects our desire to move in the right direction while staying true to our DNA.
