CORTEGE DES NEREIDES

Description

Made in Italy, Cort?ge de N?r?ides is a bright jacquard with a large pattern of stylised acanthus leaves, an ornamental motif widely used in classical Greek and Roman architecture. The cut-fibre technique frees some of the cotton fibres : giving a slightly hazy appearance on the surface. The fine materials such as cotton and linen give the fabric an authentic look; the cupro this lustre and silkiness. Cort?ge de N?r?ides fabric has been dyed using artisanal technique known as “Badly Dyed” which gives a unique style : a discrete and inimitable sheen. The “Soft Hand” finishing gives it a cashmere-like touch. Nereids are sea nymphs who form the suite of the god Poseidon, they are either represented as mermaids or as beautiful young women riding dolphins or seahorses. Lire la suite
