100% Japanese Cotton Jacquard - 'Our Riviera' | Green

LIMITED EDITION

• approx. 145gsm
• 147cm wide
• For your reference, the ‘Window’ is 22cm x 33cm, which it perfect for featuring in bodices and sleeves.
• Green colourway: features an array of green variations, oranges, yellows, and moments of pale apricot, all on a white background.

‘Our Riviera’ design is now available in a cool, Japanese Jacquard Cotton cloth, in three new colourways: Blue, Green, and Purple.  Those who received a ‘House of G’ Club Cloth Edit box, or ‘House of Z - the Sequel’ will be familiar with this base cloth.    It has an amazing soft, textural/jacquard surface that combines geometric and floral elements. ‘Our Riveira’ is a centerpiece print of Cloth Edit’s Spring Summer Collection.  The print pays homage to those famous coastal regions of France and Italy and the many resort inspired collections I adore.  Nevertheless, this print also encapsulates the Australian summer and how we live and dress; not just for holidays, but what we love to wear all summer in our warm climate.

The design is completely unique, and features a sun burst, decorative scrolls, small flowers and leaves, a modern take on paisley, and a glorious ‘window’ into a garden paradise.    The artwork is thoughtful, balanced, and could best be described as a watercolour effect.  You will notice in the full-width images that there is a pattern repeat, but the brilliance of this design is that the key elements (the sunburst, and the garden window) are staggered across the design.  The many images give you a good indication of the scale and drape of the fabrics.   I have made a dress in the ‘Our Riviera’ Green & Pink (Linen), so you could have a look at those images for a good indication of the scale of the print and how you can play with pattern placement.  Also see the Cloth Edit Instagram post on this make. 

It’s a limited-edition design, and Cloth Edit has managed to secure some.  This is perfect for chic summer dresses and kaftans, cool overshirts, loose blouses, shorts, trousers, skirts and a modern co-ord look.  The cloth is light weight (approx. 145gsm), washes beautifully, is soft against the skin, and drapes in soft folds. 

Buttons suggests:

Cloth Care
While cotton can generally be machine washed and tumble dried without any problem, this is a lightweight and delicate fabric, so take more care of the cloth/garment, so hand wash or use a short / delicate cycle and place inside a mesh washing bag.  Wash colours separately.   The finished garment will last longer and look better if it is shaken out when wet, and placed on a hanger to dry.  Tumble drying will shorten the life of the garment, and potentially damage the jacquard effect.  Do Not Tumble Dry.  To prevent fading, wash inside out and dry in the shade.   Cotton needs a warm to hot iron.  Conduct a spot test.  Cotton is dry cleanable.
