The most common is the Venetian drawstring finish, which, with its "bars," carefully highlights the edges of pillowcases and high-end bed sheets. The Venice Day fabric is named as such because, from the 15th century onwards, Venetian embroiderers were specialists in this craft. This expertise was then exported and developed in France from the 17th century onwards, inspiring French luxury. L180 x W312 cm
