Canclini Natural Cotton and Nep Silk Fabric

$125

A very special find from the archives of our friends at Canclini Tessile in Lake Como, Italy. It's a beautiful off-white solid made using a unique blend of cotton and raw silk. The silk gives it the beautifully, neppy texture you see. Canclini originally started as a silk weaving mill for ties, the predominate industry of Lake Como, but transitioned to shirting fabrics--it's this special expertise that makes them the perfect choice to weave this unusual style. Limited edition. 60% Cotton / 40% Silk.

“The texture is wonderful, and it's very comfortable. Worth noting that it is definitely transparent – you'll only want to wear it with an undershirt or in a very casual setting.”
