Heugrün reads as a warm, muted green, reminiscent of freshly cut meadow grass in late summer - not loud, not pale, but earthy and calm. The solid, plain surface of the Vanessa jersey lets the colour speak for itself without any pattern competing for attention.
The hand feels soft and supple, typical for a cotton jersey with an elastane content. At 220 g/m² it counts as a medium-weight jersey: it drapes cleanly while still having enough substance to stay opaque even in lighter shades.
The 6% elastane content gives noticeable recovery, so cut pieces keep their shape and the fabric doesn't stretch out of shape over time. Against the skin it feels soft enough for sensitive areas, while the 94% cotton content keeps the overall feel natural and breathable.
What Vanessa Heugrün is suitable for
- At 220 g/m² it stays opaque enough for dresses and skirts.
- The 6% elastane content makes it well suited to close-fitting shirts and leggings that need good recovery.
- The soft hand feel also makes it comfortable against the skin for bodysuits and children's clothing.
- As a medium-weight jersey it works well for everyday garments that need a bit of drape and structure.
