This Piece: Duralee’s “Bengale,” #9678 is an elegant and sophisticated Middle Eastern influenced ikat/paisley-like silken fabric of a rayon and cotton blend. Beautiful surface hand that reads as a silk. Saturate and rich colors of chocolate brown, cinnamon, sage green, silvery-gray. modern gray, and cornsilk. Rich complex pattern with enough fabric to cover an average sized vintage/ antique dining or side table chair.

Don’t know what it means and my research yileded nothing but on the selvage it says, “…edité par Taco Texunion S. A.”

MAKER: Duralee is a mid century company, launching in the early 1950s. They did so to much aplomb, with many considering their entry into the field to be an exciting addition to the fabrics and home decorator. Given so many fabric houses which have merged over the years, Duralee has acquired many distinctive brands and their sizable archive collections.

SAMPLE SIZE: 27.5″ wide x 30″ L

What Can You Make? A pillow, Roman shade for a small/med window, piecing for quilts, piecing for fashion accessories, more. Large enough to cover a small-med dining room chair seat and/or back. Maybe a message board. Or use like this designer is doing, by piecing it to one part of a piece of furniture while using other fabrics to finish it out: https://w9yards.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Birds-of-a-Feather-pg-1.png

CONDITION: Superior!

Why High-End Vintage Fabric Samples?: Because the size and quality make it possible to access a very high-end fabric for a smaller scale project without the high cost of these fabrics which often begin at over $150 a yard. Or to access a small amount of discontinued fabric to match an existing piece of furniture, pillow, or lamp.

SHOP MISSION: For art and textiles I use eco-friendly resources including non-toxic materials, and upcycled textiles for sale or turned into new products. My philosophy is #buyantiquesfirst #buyvintagefirst #buyusedfirst #buyupcycledfirst and sell them as they are, or turn them into something new.

I believe it’s our duty as contemporary earth dwellers to not make new demands on the industrial economy and instead to utilize already embedded energy is the quadrillions of products already made and still usable in life today either as they are, or transformed into something fresh.

With my products, together you and I help reduce earth impacts since I source vintage items and resources either as they are, or to upcycle into new products, giving them a new life. This reduces demand on current resources, preserves history, and keeps valuable items out of the landfill, all of which asks just a little bit less out of our ever-giving Mother Earth. And since Etsy buys carbon offsets for all shipping, this approach is a win-win for the sustainability-minded shopper.

When I visit #historichouses I am, of course, part When I visit #historichouses I am, of course, particularly interested in the fabrics and textiles. These shots are of some drapes, carpeting, and #wallpaper from the @grantcottage, where General (and President) Ulysses S. Grant lived out his final months and finished his widely-hailed #memoirs. Visit it in New York outside of Saratoga Springs. 

Isn’t that black #sunflower — or is it #chrysanthemum — pattern on the drapes amazing? And the one wallpaper looks like a #williammorris design. None of the items in the house are #reproductions — they’re all exactly as they were in 1885, perfectly preserved history.

This 1970s Waverly Fabric piece titled "Papillion, This 1970s Waverly Fabric piece titled "Papillion," offers poppies in profusion rendered in a style reminiscent of Marimekko. Big black outlines define the flowers and lazing butterflies, the long sleek foliage and toothy leaves. Berries or buds add a contrasting shape and design feature. The whole piece has that WOW factor in color to amp the whole thing up. Fabulously on trend for decades, this 1970s look has ascended into "classic" vintage floral territory. Great for a vintage kid's room, throwback space, or for a contemporary fresh floral look. 

We have just 2.5 yards available at $89/yard. Find it in our #etsyshop Lady Virginia Vintage Fabrics (link in bio).
