Albini Tencel and Cotton Watercolor Island Print Fabric

$185

Design A Shirt

A silky, lightweight fabric with a vintage-inspired print from Italy’s Albini.

This beautiful print is inspired by vintage tropical and Aloha designs. It’s like a remote island getaway, with blue skies, sandy beaches, tiny ships, and colorful palm trees undulating across the silky-smooth surface of the fabric in a fresh watercolor style. Tencel™ is an eco-friendly fiber with incredible performance characteristics. It's made from highly absorbent wood pulp, and while its drape is similar to that of silk and rayon it’s much easier to care for. Blended with cotton, it gives this fabric a nice drape and a smooth finish. The light blue, beige, orange, red, and yellow palette of this print will pair nicely with a wide variety of blues and neutrals. It’s a fun option for an elevated Aloha shirt.

Recommended Styling: Since this fabric has a very silky hand, we recommend going with soft details all around. A Camp collar and short sleeves will make an easygoing summer shirt you won’t want to take off. Natural Corozo buttons are the way to go.

“This fabric is more opaque than I expected, which is a good thing, but it is also even softer and more breathable than I was hoping for. What a great fabric for warm weather.”

“Pattern is great and understated, and fabric is nice but a little heavy on the polyester”

“Fabrics are great. My only mistake in orders is that I like shirt fabrics coloured both sides , but I tend to forget to check when I’m “designing” !”
