Beautiful and versatile: knitted fabrics and natural silks
High quality textiles for beautifully designed luxury goods
At Baltex, we celebrate the beauty and versatility of knitted fabrics and natural silks. Our exquisite textile collections are carefully crafted to cater to the discerning tastes of the apparel industry, blending timeless elegance with modern sophistication.
We work with many designer brands, and have provided fabrics for screen uses, including for clothing for the world’s most famous spy, and even for a galaxy far, far, away.
The finest silks
Nestled just miles from Derby’s historic silk mill, the first successful silk throwing mill in England, Baltex continues the legacy of creating exquisite textiles from natural fibres like silk and cotton. While the use of silk declined after World War II due to the emergence of synthetic fibres like nylon, its unparalleled luxurious properties have kept it a sought-after material worldwide.
As the world shifts towards eco-conscious choices, natural fibres like silk offer a sustainable solution with a significantly lower environmental impact than synthetic plastics.
