Tengo problemas serios con la palabra PUNTILLÉ, qué es este cosa? No parece ser demasiado común:
"Traje de hombre Emidio Tucci classic de puntillé azul"

pin check
If you look very closely at your examples you'll see that they are all actually in a very very fine check. This is pin check in English. You can see it in the Massimo Dutti example, using the magnifier, and in the one about check shirts (the puntillé is the blue and white one on the left). It's also clear here:
"Pajarita puntillé lisa.

"Pin check is a pattern created with pin sized stripes that cross to form tiny checks that appear as dots from a distance. This pattern generally consists of one color set against white. The intricate nature of the pattern creates an element of texture and depth, and is perfect for a formal work setting!"

I think it probably comes from the French "pointillé", the "stippled" painting technique used by some of the Impressionists, notably Pissarro.

"PUNTILLÉ. Tejido falso liso, formado por hilos de dos colores, uno de los cuales forma pequeños puntitos sobre el color de fondo."
"Puntillé: Fr. pointillé. In.
dotted. Tejido o efecto de dibujo que representa una serie de pequeños motivos o puntitos diseminados en su superficie".

Hablan siempre de "diseños de pointillé". No creo que sea un tipo de tejido; no veo nada que apoye esta idea. Creo que lo han entendido mal los que te han informado.
