Editorial

Why This Pick

The Entoto Stripe arrives from Lee Jofa's Breckenridge collection with a story rooted in East African craft tradition. Woven in the highlands outside Addis Ababa, each stripe is the product of a hand-tensioned loom where the ivory warp threads are carefully counted against a warm flax weft — a technique unchanged across three generations of the same weaving family.

What sets this fabric apart is the intentional irregularity in the stripe width. At exactly 55 inches, it's built for generous upholstery yardage, yet the optical weight reads far lighter than its cotton-heavy content suggests. The ivory-to-flax color story functions as a genuine neutral: neither too warm for a coastal room nor too cool for a darker library scheme.

Designer Wallcoverings carries full bolt and memo sample — one free, shipped within two business days. Trade pricing is available immediately on account application.

"The best fabrics carry their geography in every thread. This one smells like altitude and morning light."
