Lovely light pink, gray striped vintage ticking with some thin yellow stripes. It is a European twill fabric called Cutí (or in French “coutil”) from around 1940. This textile, recovered and freshly washed, was part of a mattress cover. It is a light-medium weight cotton fabric.
ROSARIO SAYS: “The color, very slightly faded, gives it a wonderful patina of age”
