Karavel Cotton Textiles

Karavel is a coloured cotton fabric collection of 30 designs developed in 1955. It was designed to explore the possibilities of inexpensive cotton by the metre. The collection featured a range of new colours and bold colourways in a variety of patterns based on classic and quirky checks and stripes. The Karavel collection became a popular fabric for both clothing and home furnishing, and it was partly for this that Nanna and Jørgen Ditzel were awarded the Lunning Prize in 1956.
Nanna used the Karavel fabric to make clothes for herself and her daughters.
