TRADE SHOWS S/S 2026


Paper+


Paper is a highly versatile material. It has been used for quite some


time, but with the growing need for alternatives due to rising prices of natural fibres, it has become, like raffia, a feature of almost every collection. Used as fabric, braid or


yarn, it is often blended with other fibres or given special treatments to enhance strength and durability.
