This Italian cotton poplin features an intricate border print in rich coffee brown, sand, and ivory tones — reminiscing antique woodblock prints or decorative inlay work. The crisp, midweight poplin structure allows for defined silhouettes, whether pleated, flared, or softly structured. At once earthy and refined, the cloth has a smooth finish with a soft rustle — perfect for warm-weather dressing with depth and presence.
The design layout — with a bold ornamental repeat running along both selvedges — lends itself beautifully to garments that play with symmetry and placement. Consider the print used along the hem of a tiered skirt, climbing the bodice of a summer dress, or wrapping around a kaftan or statement sleeve. Designers like Dries Van Noten and Etro have long embraced this type of placement to elevate everyday shapes into something iconic.
A standout for slow fashion sewing, this fabric invites creative cutting and intentional garment design.

Colour Accuracy and Sample Advisory
We stock a huge collection of fabrics and do our best to describe the colour of each piece, both online and when you call us. Try as we might, we can never guarantee exact colours or colour matching, simply because of the multitude of variations in shade, as well as the way colours and colour settings vary by device and monitor. To make an informed decision on your fabric's colour, texture, weight and movement, we encourage you to order a sample before placing a larger order.
