Basque glory
Weaving is a centuries-old tradition in the Basque region of Europe. Basque linens are made from high-quality, color-resistant fabrics. They are distrinctive because of their seven tripes, which represent the seven provinces of the Basque region: three French provinces and four Spanish. The patterns being designed today are a variation on the old fabric.
Made by Artiga using cotton from Zambia or Egypt. Tablecloths, aprons and napery now available from rougestore.com.au or Esprit de Famille, Toorak Village. Check out the lovely Mauléon tablecloth (pictured), which measures 205cmx165cm and is $179.
