Not only does this Italian linen plain have an amazingly soft tumbled finish - but it also has incredible performance. The addition of a high-tech bionic water repellent finish ensures that it is soil and oil-repellent - liquids will bead up and roll off its surface. This sophisticated finish is created at the molecular level, therefore allowing the fabric to stay soft and breathable and the colors to look like new. Fifty-eight shades of versatile neutrals, softly shaded hues and vivid brights give the designer a multitude of options for creating beautiful draperies and upholstery that’s made to last.
