'Chennai' encapsulates Sarah's eye for colour. The amazing background hue is a hybrid of tan and chartreuse. It has a golden-olive tinge to it. It's so hard to describe, but I feel the images do it justice. The design is directional, and you'll see and assortment of flowers and foliage in the Miss Moresby signature style of creating patterns within a petal, or leaf, or stem. I love the incorporation of vases, which are also adorned with their own unique patterns. This is so unique, and I think you'll love it. You might consider mixing this with the 'Oaxacal' print. The chartreuse is a bit light in the zigzag 'Oaxacal' design, but they work really well together.
The fabric is a beautiful quality Linen | Cotton blend. For me it feels more like a fine linen, but the cotton brings a smooth softness to it.
It's perfect for tops | blouses | shirts, dresses, loose pants, robes etc.

Cloth Care:
We recommend a gentle cold machine wash or hand-washing linen. It is important not to wring the fabric or garment, so if you are handwashing, roll up in a towel to press out excess water. To ensure the long life of a garment, don’t tumble dry as this breaks down the fibres. It is preferable to wash inside out. Wash colours separately. Shake out the wet garment and dry flat (or on a hanger) in the shade. Use a warm/hot iron and spot test. Iron on wrong side of fabric.
