A beautifully fine, lightweight printed silk with a bold retro floral pattern in vivid pink, magenta, lilac, black, and cream. The print has unmistakable presence—graphic, glamorous, and full of the kind of energy that can carry an entire garment on its own.
The selvedge is marked “100% seta / Made in Italy.” Based on both the selvedge marking and hand feel, this fabric appears to be silk rather than cotton. It does not feel like satin silk; instead, it has a slightly dry hand, a softly crisp structure, and a faint rustle when handled. Fine, airy, and refined, it feels more like a light dress silk with presence than a fluid, slippery satin.
Light enough for warm-weather sewing but substantial enough to hold shape beautifully, this fabric would be especially lovely for blouses, shirts, dresses, skirts, and other statement pieces.
