Black is a colour that never goes out of style, and in this jersey it appears deep and rich without looking flat. The surface lies smooth and even, so the black stays consistent across the fabric with no visible weave structure or sheen variations.
At 220 g/m² the fabric feels substantially in hand without being stiff. It drapes softly around the body while keeping its shape, giving a calm and closed fall. The 5% elastane content adds noticeable stretch in every direction, so the fabric moves easily with the wearer.
Thanks to its dense structure at 220 g/m², the jersey is opaque enough that underwear or lining won't show through, which makes it suitable for garments where coverage matters. At the same time, the hand feel stays soft enough for pieces worn directly against the skin.
What Vanessa Schwarz is suitable for
- Suitable for shirts and dresses, as the 220 g/m² weight makes the fabric opaque enough to reliably cover contours.
- Suitable for leggings, as the 5% elastane content allows good stretch in every direction.
- Suitable for bodysuits and kidswear, as the hand feel stays soft against the skin despite the 220 g/m² weight.
- Suitable for sensitive skin, as the fabric is certified to OEKO-TEX Standard 100.

Is this fabric suitable for baby clothes?
