What each line on a dé product page means, from composition and usable width to colour numbers, and what our status labels "As published", "Awaiting verification", "On request" and "Coming soon" tell you.
Every article on our website has its own page. This guide explains what each line means, and how we label information that is still being checked or that depends on your order.
Our status labels
We would rather tell you where a value stands than show a number we cannot stand behind. So every line on a product page carries one of these labels:
- As published — the value as we publish it for this article.
- Awaiting verification — the test method applies to this article, but we show a result only once it has been verified. Ask us for the documentation available.
- On request — the answer depends on your order (quantity, colours, destination, timing). We give it in your quote.
- Coming soon — the data is being prepared. This applies to the New series 2026: "Technical details coming soon — request samples or ask our team."
The lines on a product page
Composition
The fibre content of the fabric, shown exactly as published, for example "100% Polyester". Some articles use fibre abbreviations (such as W, A, TC, P, L or C). We show them as published; ask us for the full fibre names of any article.
Weight
Shown exactly as published, for example "390 g". Weight in the textile trade can refer to one square metre or to one running metre of the full width. If the basis matters for your calculation, ask us to confirm it for the article you are considering.
Width and usable width
Fabric width is the full width from edge to edge. Usable width excludes the selvedges and any edge you cannot cut, so it is the figure to use when you calculate how many metres a model needs.
Roll length
The length of fabric on one roll, as published. It is often a range.
Colour variants
Every colour of an article has a number: Colour 1, Colour 2, and so on. We do not use colour names, so there is no doubt about which colour you mean. Quote the article code and the colour number in every request, for example "DE2505, Colour 14". Where an article has a colour card, the card shows all its colours side by side.
Care instructions
The care instructions as published for the article, for example "Low temperature, dry clean only". See also our care guide.
Performance and safety tests
The test methods that apply, such as Martindale abrasion (EN ISO 12947-2), pilling (EN ISO 12945-2), colour fastness to light (EN ISO 105-B02) and ignitability (BS 5852). Each shows the status "Awaiting verification" until a verified result is available. Our glossary of fabric tests explains what each test measures.
MOQ, price, stock and lead time
Always on request. They depend on the article, quantity, colours, destination and Incoterm, so we give them in your quote. See Incoterms explained.
Articles with photos only
Some articles are on our website with photos only, because their data has not been published yet. Their pages show only what exists and say "Details on request". Samples are the quickest way to judge them.
Printing a spec sheet
Each product page can be printed as a spec sheet. It carries the same values and the same status labels as the page.
This guide describes how dé presents product information. General terms are explained in our glossary.
