Mille Fiori Preziosa - Liberty Style Pima Lawn

Introduction:

Pima Cotton Lawn was new to Fabworks in Summer 2021. Considered a very high-quality fabric originally made in South America, but finding its way to all corners of the globe due to its excellent strength, breathability and amazingly soft feel and weight; akin to lightweight silk. This is real luxury cotton.

Mille Fiori Preziosa is a delightful Pima cotton lawn, printed with an all-over ditsy design with a rich palette of jewel hues. The scattered ditsy floral design is named after the pretty Italian glass beads- and literally means- precious thousands of flowers. 

Colour:

A navy background sets the scene for a profusion of jewel-toned Turquoise, Malachite, Jade and fiery orange Carnelian flowers. Touches of pale stone highlight and lift the design.  

This ditsy print has a perfectly put together palette with soft and fresh denim vibes making it ideal for sharp shirts and other up to date classics.
