Beautiful vintage beige and green striped ticking with some thin red and white stripes. It is a European twill fabric called cutí (from the French “coutil”) from around 1940. This textile, recovered and freshly washed, was part of a mattress cover. It is a medium weight cotton fabric. It has an elegant color scheme.
ROSARIO SAYS: "A very lively and cheerful color combination"
