Wonderful vintage ticking with cream, white, pink and blue stripes. It is a strong European fabric made around 1950 from herringbone weave. In the past, these resistant fabrics for mattress covers were called “cutís” (or in French “coutil”). It is made of medium-weight cotton. The herringbone weave has been used not only as a type of fabric but to reinforce the visual texture.

ROSARIO SAYS: “A perfect combination of colors and widths of the stripes!!! “It is elegant as well as fresh and attractive.”
