From the Italian luxury clothing brand, this is a beautiful quality yarn dyed linen/cotton novelty woven with a horizontal stripe pattern (3.5" vertical repeat). It is opaque with no stretch, and the varying sizes and styles of threads bring great interest and a slight texture to the surface. The colors are eggshell, black and taupe, (PANTONE 11-0602, 15-1215, etc.). It is medium-light weight with some firmness in the drape. Perfect for a tailored over-shirt, skirt, tunic, pants, lightweight jacket and other upscale casual coordinates for spring/summer. The stripes may be oriented in either direction for a variety of lovely looks. Dry clean or test first if you wish to hand wash and hang to dry.
