Reminiscent of an Italian villa's rose-covered trellis, this Ravello Leaf Green and Orange Crosshatch Avifauna Mercerized Organic Egyptian Cotton Shirting is as functional as it is decorative. Realistic depictions of birds, flowers, and leaves in greens, oranges, pinks, and blues lay over a light green criss-cross pattern of intersecting lines, creating a captivating scene across the lustrous white ground. Aside from the allure driven by its detailed print, mercerized cotton fabrics—such as the one displayed here—are a far throw from your basic cotton fabrics, as they are finished with a special chemical treatment that increases luster, dye absorption, and tear strength while reducing fabric shrinkage. This luminous cotton shirting is one for the fashion books and a wardrobe essential! Thin and lightweight, it has a crisp, cool hand and a stiff but flexible drape that allows you to get creative with silhouettes. Turn this alluring Egyptian cotton fabric into classic button-downs, as well as smart and billowy skirts, blouses, and dresses. Translucent in parts, a lining is suggested for additional opacity or structure. This eco-friendly product is STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certified; tested independently and worldwide, the certification system evaluates finished, semi-finished, and raw textiles while thoroughly covering chemicals, harmful substances, and precautionary parameters. Also recognized and certified by the BCI (Better Cotton Initiative), this product undoubtedly qualifies as eco-friendly for its sustainable sourcing; focusing on the exchange of good practices, it passes the economic, environmental, and social concerns of the initiative.MoodEarth Verified: For more information on Mood's sustainability initiatives, check out MoodEarth here.
