The SAMSÉ Index

Textiles are a vast world of fibres, colours, constructions, surfaces, prints, finishes and possibilities.

At SAMSÉ, we wanted a simple way to organise not only the fabrics we offer, but also the ideas, observations, experiments and developments that happen around them.

The SAMSÉ Index is our evolving textile reference — a way of recording how an idea begins, how it develops and where it may eventually lead.

SECONDS — first observations, inspirations and sparks of an idea

MINUTES — thoughts beginning to take shape

HOURS — experiments, trials, combinations and development

DAYS — realised fabrics, designs and new possibilities

SEASONS — broader collections, directions and textile stories

ARCHIVE — ideas, developments and references worth keeping

The Index exists alongside our regular Fabric Collection and Composition categories. Those sections help you find fabrics technically; the SAMSÉ Index helps you explore the thinking and possibilities behind them.

Some ideas may become fabrics. Some may develop into collections. Others may remain experiments or lead us somewhere completely different.

As SAMSÉ grows, The SAMSÉ Index will grow with it — one observation, one experiment and one textile story at a time.

Have an idea or textile possibility you would like to explore with us?
