Different from other man-made fibers, Rayon is not synthetic, being made from regenerated wood pulp, an Eco-natural, cellulose-rich raw material. Rayon's properties are renowned for their similarity to organic fibers such as cotton and linen. Rayon is soft, strong and absorbent, which makes for an ideal garment in keeping the wearer cool and comfortable. This Rayon fabric is a marvelous combination of knit refinement and practicality, with a superb drape and silk-like aesthetic. The absorbency character of our Rayon also allows for quality garment dyeing, thus enriching our product with vibrant hues and deep colorations. Industrial knitted fabrics afford form fitted styling since their elasticity permits them to follow the body’s curvature. Our knit jersey's have a soft-textured hand (providing long wearing comfort), are easy to care for, and are wonderfully wrinkle resistant. CARE INSTRUCTIONS: Machine wash warm with like colors, and with mild detergent (do not use bleach). Tumble dry low. Warm, steam iron (if needed).

With costume origins from traditional ballet corps in Europe during the early 1800’s, the elegant tunic design of this silhouette has enjoyed decades of popularity among women of all ages. Attention is drawn to the basket weave motif print (which we call “Java”) that serves as a style element as well as a visual statement. This delightful marriage of style and function provides a fashion sensibility that well dressed women welcome. Our pullover Devon tunic top features a band V-neck that is reinforced with backside facing for extra durability. The ¾ length sleeves are finished with simple fold-over hems. A form fitting drape sweeps downward from the shoulders to a bottom hemline that falls to the upper thighs. This is a dual frame silhouette in that there are two tunic frames sewn together to create one top. The major difference between the two is that the inside tunic has a squared bottom hem, whereas the outside tunic hemline has an enlarged handkerchief point to the front left leg and another to the hind right leg. This asymmetrical styling offers subtle, but chic fashion appeal. Garment dyed richness also adds distinctive character to this versatile silhouette that pairs easily with pants, leggings and designer jeans. Perfect for travel, work or play, this tunic body style makes for a smart investment to any well planned wardrobe. Our Java fabric print draws inspiration from the weaving patterns of the staple “collecting” baskets used in coffee regions throughout the world. Three distinct basket weaving patterns are showcased here which are commonly used in Central America, South America, the Pacific Islands, and Africa. These patterns are often achieved by using choice natural materials such as reed, tree bark splints, cane, flax, jute, palm fronds, and straw. Our stylized renditions of these weaving patterns serve as design elements as well as providing captivating visual appeal. This Tianello natural fibered Rayon knit garment was designed, developed and proudly Made In The USA using premium imported fabric. Note: Actual colors may vary slightly due to your screen.
