Today’s fashion designers know that polyester can be the perfect complement to cotton and other fabrics, particularly in athleisure and activewear. That’s why our big book of polyester swatches is the perfect complement to our Cotton Swatch Libraries, offering designers greater inspiration and color palette options when creating polyester and polyester hybrid garments for today’s markets.

Our Polyester Swatch Book features 203 on-trend, forecast-driven colors to spark creativity for designers and colorists working in apparel, textiles, and soft home goods. Offering brighter colors than cotton can achieve, it is considered an additional, complementary resource to our Cotton Swatch Libraries, essential for anyone working with polyester and polyester hybrids.

The Polyester Swatch Book has an easy-to-use binder format, pages feature 5 cm x 5 cm mini-swatches, secured, double-layered, and affixed on unbacked 100% polyester fabric. Cascading pockets allow for easy visibility of 5 swatch cards per row and a full 35 colors per page, all in a handsome, lightweight binder. Swatch cards stay secure on the page until removed, with printed names on the pockets for easy identification and return.
