Italian super chic raffia suiting - turquoise

From Italy, what a fantastically chic and modern fabric this is! -- It's a raffia suiting in a fresh and summery turquoise (PANTONE 16-4725). The quality is exceptional---it is malleable and flexible, while retaining the somewhat firmer drape associated with this type of fabric. The face is dominated by the flat, straw-like raffia fibers in a textured basketweave, but the cotton underweave keeps it soft and breathable. A very sophisticated, high fashion look, perfect for suiting, jackets, etc. Dry cleaning recommended; please test first if you wish to try machine washing.
