Just had to let you know about this fabric! It's beautiful, I've been to their sho in Amsterdam and met Rudolph who is the designer - he's so interesting and such a character; the fabric is like nothing else I've seen. It has a glaze on it at first but this disappears with handling - he says there's no need to prewash. It looks expensive at first glance but it's wider than usual so worth a treat!
Enjoy
