This pattern was created by japanese designer Naomi Ito for her nani IRO line. Ito works primarily in watercolor, drawing inspiration from nature and Japanese art and mingling minimalism, a light hand, and an extraordinarily sharp eye. Ito’s designs can run the gamut from gentle and soothing to lively and dynamic, but they are, at all times, deeply poetic and extremely well thought out.
This fabric is made in a twill weave of very fine cotton and silk threads. It is light, soft, and very touchable, but the weave and its higher thread count make it surprisingly strong.
This fabric is a great choice for a blouse, shirt, or dress. If you go for a looser cut, it will drape beautifully. It would also make for a great neckerchief or summer scarf and could be wonderful in a pair of lightweight curtains, especially in a romantically styled or minimalist interior.
Machine wash cool (30°C). Iron on cotton setting. Because this is a delicate fabric, select a lower spin cycle; gentle handling will prolong its lifetime.
Limited editions are fabrics of exceptional quality or patterns that have been designed and produced exclusively under the Sartor brand. As a rule, they do not repeat and are therefore only available while supplies last. Don't miss your chance to own a true original.
If we recommend pre-shrinking for a particular fabric, we generally say so in the product description. As a rule, pre-shrinking is needed for linen, cotton, and rayon, but for finer fabrics (light rayon, Tencel and modal) proceed with care – don't use hot water or a hot iron, simply launder the fabric the way you will be laundering the completed garment.
