A luxurious, very high quality Italian cotton forms the basis for this printed turtles design, and needs to really, in order to do justice to the design, by allowing fine definition and superb gradations of tone which would be lost in a lesser material. Four species of turtles are repeated in a vertical configuration suggesting, perhaps direction, or migration or the sense of a curated collection. The regular patterning of shells and very subtle shading produce a kind of soft glow in the overall effect which is very gentle and serene, slightly otherworldly, rather like the creatures themselves. Single button cuff.
