Woven with purpose, this fabric is sure to please! It mimics the texture of burlap with its microporous construction. However, it's tightly woven with a very intricate pattern that runs horizontally along the weft, very similar to that of a dupioni. Although it is primarily composed of Linen which has high tenacity, its nylon component helps for a soft hand. Because it has great abrasion resistance, look forward to using this to construct that perfect beach bag!
