Charming vintage ticking with pale pink and beige stripes with some thin red stripes. It is a European twill fabric called Cutí (french "coutil") from around 1940. This textile, recovered and freshly washed, was part of a mattress cover. It's a medium-weight cotton fabric. It has a delicious combination of colors

ROSARIO DICE: “The color, very slightly faded, gives it a wonderful old-age patina”
