Description: | Fashion fabrics. Loose sheets, containing swatches of woven fabric glued onto paper. Used as reference books by Klein and his designers themselves and were not shown to customer, therefore contain little written information. 'T' relates to the cloth number and structure used, 'R' is the Range number. These volumes record all the experimentation of the business. Klein remembers that only about 5% of some volumes would be taken up by Designers. Some fabrics have been cut, indicating those that were sold successfully. These volumes feature Klein's most successful fibres: mohair, worsted velvet ribbon [used in Velvet Tweeds] and the synthetic ruched ribbon. | Source: | Heriot-Watt University | Address: | Mary Burton Centre, Level 1 Cameron Smail Librar, Heriot-Watt University,,
