Continuing with the light cottons for a moment, this is a Japanese cotton, and they are always fabulous quality, with delicate flowers teeming all over the surface. Actually, it is apt that this is a Japanese fabric. The great Japanese designer Sacai used a cotton very, very similar to this is her most recent summer collection, which is just now hitting the stores.
I bet you haven’t seen a floral cotton made up like this before – a mish-mash trimmed with army green. Sacai makes it work!
This one is a lightweight cotton, thicker than a voile and quite opaque. It is nice and soft and will gather, fold and handle volume really well.
Here are a couple more images from the Sacai collection. You should have seen what she did with lace! I might do a post later on her collections; she is one of the most interesting designers working today.
This fabric is 110cm wide and is 2.10 metres in length. The fabric price is $21 a metre/$44 for the piece.
I can post this fabric in the small satchel for $8.25. Please see here for full details on payment and posting. If interested, please click on the email link below; fabric details will appear automatically and I will get back to you asap. (Australia delivery only thanks).
