Italian waxy-look 'crossword' brocade

Just in with a new shipment from top Italian mills, this is a super modern and fashion forward brocade! The graphic pattern is like a crossword grid (5.5" repeat) in black and pearly white. It's a 3-ply fabric, with thin "cushioning" in the middle, for a textured, almost quilted look. There's a glossy/waxy finish on the face of the fabric, just enough to give it a slight sheen. It's a heavier weight brocade with a firm drape so styles should have simple lines and structure. SO perfect for a special coat or jacket. Dry cleaning recommended.
