*This “two stripe” is an ode to Johan Cruijff. And should be seen as a label (manufactured by Textielfabrique).

*Kobor is the company of Koos Koopman. As a representative of textile yarns, Koos Koopman visited happy spinning mills weaving mills in Europe. When many of those factories stopped producing, Koos started the remnants of this textile industry own. 50,000 kilos of European textile heritage is now his trade.
