Beautiful vintage ticking with red and beige stripes with some thin white stripes. It is a European fabric of cuti twill (from the French “coutil”) from around 1950. This textile, recovered and recently washed, was part of a mattress cover. This fabric is light to medium weight cotton. It is a very cheerful fabric with a very bright red.

ROSARIO SAYS: "I love the mix of this cream color with the vibrant red and a little white to give it vibrancy"
