Schumacher | Argento

Argento is a double-faced cloth with a metallic sheen on one side and a softer reverse, woven at an Italian fashion mill. The blend of cashmere, silk, cotton and polyester gives it a silky drape and a sumptuous hand, the kind of cloth that feels as considered as it looks.

Woven in Italy, it is 143 centimetres wide and composed of 33 per cent cotton, 30 per cent silk, 28 per cent cashmere and 9 per cent polyester. Dry cleaning is recommended. It suits curtains, blinds, cushions and upholstery where a refined, tactile finish is called for.
