Don't be blue! This Cobalt and White Classic Toile de Jouy Mercerized Organic Egyptian Cotton Shirting is too fabulous for that! A gentle pattern of pastoral scenes with fishing children, shepherds, windmills, and scenic bridges is etched in bold blue across a bright 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.
