Wonderful vintage beige ticking with red and white stripes. It is a European herringbone tissue called cutí (from the French “coutil”) from the early 1900s. This textile, recovered and recently washed, was part of a mattress cover. It is a medium weight cotton fabric. The years give it a beautiful old-age patina. The herringbone weave reinforces the visual linearity.

ROSARIO SAYS: This fabric still has a lot to “live”. Incredibly beautiful and rare! ”.
