tactile qualities would be another choice
nice jobs you have there - wished mine were the same :-)

I would like to add in reference to Alexander\'s disagree - it is perfect English to say \'a place has a nice feel\' meaning \'atmosphere\'. The \'feel\' of materials is also very often used to describe the tactile qualities. A \'touchy feel\' might not sound right to some - though I have heard peope saying it in particular situations.
The purpose of this answer was only to help the asker out of a sticky situation - I am sure he is competent enough to make his own choice.

sensed / sensory feel
Sorry Herrmann, but "a touchy feel" is not very English.
"touchy" is used almost exclusively in the sense of "irritable".
