Dear Christopher, due to the fact you didn't experience the guided tour you probably hadn't realized we produce beautiful damasks (that's the actual name for this kind of fabric) in our workshop. Umbria's textile tradition has very ancient roots and our Laboratory is the last one still active, our work is based on a faithfully reproduction of the famous medieval Perugia style cloth. Our fabrics aren't "loose", they are hand-woven using two different shuttles: the first creates the ivory background while tying the warp, the second one creates the design giving the fabric a tridimensional effect. The Fondazione Cologni's "Excellence in Artisanship Award" we won recently proves the superb quality of our works. The original medieval fabrics that we use as model and recreate masterfully in our Laboratory are exhibited throughout the world in museums and galleries like London Victoria and Albert, NY Metropolitan and Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria among others.
