In Italy, the city of MANTUA is known for its renaissance architecture, and was built with warm-toned brick and stucco that naturally veer toward golds and ochres. The local piazzas, palazzi, and frescoed interiors reflect this sun-washed palette, creating a luminous mustardy glow, particularly during sunset. Set beside its surrounding lakes, Mantua’s golden hues stand out even more, giving the place a special identity all its own. This tri-toned ribbed taffeta is comprised of ochre, champagne, and maroon yarns, which give it a vintage, almost Medieval look and feel. In addition, a very subtle maroon caste subliminally beckons from the edge of one’s visual perception when the silk is gathered in bunches…Features microlines that measure 0.5mm - very tiny, and perfect for adding a nuanced texture unlike anything you ever imagined!
