Delicious vintage ticking with light pink and white stripes. It is a European twill fabric called cutí (from the French "coutil") from around 1950. This textile, recovered and freshly washed, was part of a mattress cover. It is a medium weight cotton fabric. It is a soft fabric after many washes. It has a delicious combination of colors. The herringbone weave makes it very consistent.
ROSARIO SAYS: “I love this pale pink color, beautifully timeworn”
