Curated textile palette

Soft Tailoring textile color palette

Soft Tailoring is a complete neutral run from charcoal to pale studio grey. It works when the color strategy should support silhouette, construction, and material quality rather than dominate the product. The palette is useful for workwear, uniforms, and clean merchandising systems.
