OUR MATERIALS

LACE & EMBROIDERED MESH

Our delicate lace, embroidered mesh & sheer fabrics are selected for their elegance, softness & intricate detailing. Due to their fine construction, these materials should be handled with care to maintain their beauty & prevent snags or damage.

SATIN & SILK

Our satin & silk fabrics are chosen for their smooth finish, fluid drape & luxurious feel. These delicate materials require gentle handling to preserve their natural sheen & elegant appearance.

TWEED, BOUCLÉ & STRUCTURED WEAVES

Structured fabrics such as tweed, bouclé & specialty woven textiles provide architectural shape, tailored definition & lasting structure. These fabrics are carefully chosen to maintain their form while delivering timeless sophistication.

LINING & INTERNAL CONSTRUCTION

Many LA POIS garments feature premium linings, boning, interfacing or internal support structures to enhance fit, comfort & silhouette. These construction elements are essential to the design & should be handled with care.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
