Bordeaux is a deep red shade often used in autumn and winter ranges, but it also works as a contrast colour in year-round lines. The 2/1 rib delivers a pronounced structure that stands out clearly in solid colour styles and creates a more “knitted” look than smooth cotton jersey. Commonly used for close-fitting tops, leggings, dresses and sets where good freedom of movement and a fit that stays in place are required.

The heavy 300 g/m² weight gives the rib body and good coverage. This is an advantage in garments where the rib is the main fabric, not only used for trims. A frequent question from B2B customers is whether a heavy rib becomes stiff. 2/1 rib provides more body, while the elastane ensures the garment still moves well and keeps its shape.

Fabric shops bring bordeaux in as a colour that can elevate a core range without requiring many matching variants. Smaller producers use it for short runs where a defined colour should create identity, while the quality can be reordered and delivered consistently from roll to roll.

Wash at 30 degrees, inside out. Avoid tumble drying to preserve colour and elasticity.
