OCS-Certified, Essential, Durable
Evergreen cotton fabrics Made in Tuscany
This collection is a tribute to all the evergreen and essential cotton fabrics that are Made in Tuscany “Fatti in Toscana”.
At the beginning of the 1970s, when Manteco was led by our current president Franco Mantellassi, we started processing cotton in our territory, to create one of a kind structures, looks and handfeels, by applying all our know how and experience on wool to this valuable and beautiful fibre, exploring unusual weaves, dyeing tecniques and finishing processes. All this without ever delocalizing our production processes and always maitaining them in our homeland, celebrating its indistinguishable culture, art and aesthetic values; hence the name Toscana.
This collection is a tribute to all the evergreen and essential cotton fabrics that are Made in Tuscany “Fatti in Toscana”. These materials are ALL entirely manufactured in our homeland, from the warping to the finishing phase, and exclusively made of certified, highly-selected cottons.
We reinterpreted 5 iconic structures such as Popelina, Gabardina, Raso, Doppio and Maglia; developing different weights, ad-hoc artisanal finishings, and exclusive mercerized, enzyme and dyeing processes to obtain different looks.
Nr. 1
Toscana Popelina
Toscana Popelina are tightly-woven “molto battuto” plain-weave fabrics that feature a high compactness, a crispy “croccante” and fresh “fresca” handfeel, and an extremely clean and elegant look.
Nr. 2
Toscana Gabardina
Toscana Gabardina are densely-woven micro-twill, “diagonale” fabrics that feature a proper compactness, a smooth “liscia” handfeel, and a slightly dull “semi opaco” look.
Nr. 3
Toscana Raso
Toscana Raso are lustruous “luminosi”, loosely-woven fabrics that feature a silky “setoso” appearance on the face side and a dull appearance on the back side, a slippery “fluido” handfeel.
Nr. 4
Toscana Doppio
Toscana Doppio are heavily-woven double fabrics that feature a superior thickness ”maggior spessore”, a round “rotondo” handfeel, and a rich “ricco” look.
Nr. 5
Toscana Maglia
Toscana Maglia are knitted “Punto” fabrics that feature a proper density “buona densità”, an in-built natural stretch and comfort “confortevole”, an enveloping handfeel, and an adaptive “versatile” look.
