Osborne & Little | Lerici

Lerici sends colourful streamers across a linen ground, embroidered in viscose so the ribbons of colour sit glossy against the dry, matt cloth beneath. It is named after the Ligurian coastal town with its twelfth-century castle, remembered too as the place where the poet Shelley drowned.

Made in India from linen and viscose, it is 129 centimetres wide and 360gsm. As an embroidered cloth without an abrasion rating it is best used decoratively, in curtains, blinds, cushions and headboards, where the stitched streamers stay bright and untouched.
