Viktor & Rolf Materials and Care: What 191 Pieces Are Made Of, Where, and How to Keep Them

What is Viktor & Rolf made of? Every one of the 191 pieces at Luxury Handbags carries its composition and country of origin, and counted together they describe the house exactly: a couture atelier’s fabrics (silk organza, gazar, tuxedo wool) applied to a wardrobe’s fabrics (cotton poplin, organic denim, Supima jersey), with the synthetics used only where they are the point (polyamide for tulle, polyester for gazar and satin). This page counts the fibres, lists the twelve most common compositions, explains what each cloth does in the garment, and sets out the house’s own care guidance fabric by fabric, so you know what you are buying and how to keep it.

The twelve most common compositions

What each cloth does

Silk organza is the couture fabric: sheer, crisp, and cut into the volants and jabots that stand away from the body. Polyamide tulle is the other one: a fine net that holds volume when ruffled, on the tulle ruffle circle pieces, and that carries a lace pattern on the Fall/Winter 2026 tulle lace. Gazar (polyester here) is stiff enough to hold a bow drape without wire. Wool, described by the house as Japanese tuxedo wool at the relaunch, gives the balloon and triangle trousers, the square blazer and the corset gowns their structure; the wool-viscose blend does the same on the corset bodices. Cotton poplin is the shirt and shirt-dress cloth; gabardine the crisp daytime twill; organic cotton denim, cut in Portugal, the jeans and jackets; Supima cotton with elastane the tees. Viscose lines the organza pieces and, as satin, makes the dragged-neck shirts; as jersey, the tanks and tank dresses. The linen, viscose and silk blend is the summer tailoring cloth. Mohair and superfine alpaca make the four knits. Silk lace is pure silk; cotton lace and a cotton-lyocell lace make the lace shirts. The glossary defines gazar, gabardine, poplin, Supima and the rest.

Where it is made

Netherlands (75 pieces), Lithuania (47 pieces), Portugal (42 pieces), Italy (21 pieces), Belgium (4 pieces), Scotland (2 pieces). The pattern is by cloth: the Netherlands cuts the gazar, gabardine, wool and poplin tailoring; Lithuania the organza, volant and satin pieces and the corset gowns; Portugal the denim, jersey and Supima cotton; Italy the Fall/Winter 2026 lace; Belgium the mohair-alpaca knits; Scotland the two Mackintosh raincoats. The country appears on every Luxury Handbags product page and on the care label; see real vs fake for using it to check a listing.

Care, fabric by fabric

The house publishes a care guide and it is worth following. Delicate fabrics (silk, taffeta, tulle, organza): professional dry cleaning only; do not twist and wring; steam gently on low to remove wrinkles; store in a cool, dry place. Wool: dry clean only; wool cleans itself with airing, pilling is natural and can be removed by hand and with a pilling comb; store flat, not hung, to keep the shape. Knitwear (mohair and alpaca): dry clean only, avoid sharp jewellery, store flat. Outerwear: dry clean only, store away from direct sunlight so the colour does not fade; wipe the Mackintosh raincoats and air-dry them. Cotton, denim and printed garments: dry clean, and machine wash cold with a gentle detergent, inside out; line dry and use low heat; do not tumble dry hot and do not iron the prints. Embroidery and embellishment: dry clean only, steam rather than iron. Lace: the silk and tulle lace as delicate fabrics; the cotton lace as cotton, with care. In doubt, dry clean; the house says so itself.

Sustainability and what the house says

The house does not publish a sustainability report for the ready-to-wear line; what can be counted is in the product data. 12 pieces are certified-organic cotton, everything is made in Europe, and the couture atelier has a record of working with its own offcuts (the Vagabonds collection of 2016 was made entirely from discarded material, and Boulevard of Broken Dreams in 2017 from recycled patchwork). The house’s care guide recommends washing less and hand washing where possible to prolong garment life. Beyond that we make no claims.

Is Viktor & Rolf good quality?

The fabrics are couture-grade (silk organza, gazar, tuxedo wool, organic and Supima cotton, pure silk lace), everything is made in the Netherlands, Lithuania, Portugal, Italy, Belgium and Scotland, and the signatures are constructed rather than printed. The synthetics are used where the fabric needs them: polyamide for tulle, polyester for gazar.

Where is Viktor & Rolf made?

The Netherlands, Lithuania, Portugal, Italy, Belgium and Scotland. The country of origin is on every Luxury Handbags product page and on the care label; nothing in the current line is made outside Europe.

Can I machine wash Viktor & Rolf?

The cotton, denim and printed pieces, cold and inside out with a gentle detergent, line dried, on the house guidance. Silk, organza, tulle, wool, gazar, lace, knitwear and outerwear are dry clean only.

Is Viktor & Rolf organic cotton?

12 pieces at Luxury Handbags are 100% organic cotton: the Fall/Winter 2025 denim jeans and jackets, the balloon and triangle cotton trousers, the caban, the cotton multi-layered tank and the lace cut-out shirt dress.

Why are the tulle pieces polyamide?

Because tulle is a net that needs to hold volume and spring back, and polyamide does that where silk tulle collapses. It is the standard fibre for couture tulle and correct for the genuine pieces.
