Sample Bingo Fern

Traditional Japanese kimono fabric.

Composition: 100% Cotton

Width: 36cm

Weight: 160gsm

Colour: Bingo in the Fern colourway features alternating stripes of black and rich fern green, with the green taking on a deeper pine tone in places and shifting in colour to create a subtle gradient effect. The black stripes measure 8mm wide, while the green stripes are slightly narrower at 5mm. Fine white threads are woven throughout, adding texture and softening the contrast between the darker colours. The result is a rich, earthy stripe with plenty of depth and a little extra character.

Quality: Woven in a traditional kimono fabric format, Bingo measures just 36cm wide, making it a rare find. Our most recent supplier had thoughtfully held onto this special weave knowing we were coming, and we honestly couldn't be more excited to have secured it for Potter & Co.

Kimono fabrics like Bingo are becoming increasingly difficult to find, and their narrow width is part of what makes them so special. Traditionally intended for kimono construction, the fabric can also be pieced together to create more familiar cotton garments, with a little extra planning and fabric allowance. It can also be kept the size it is for different smaller, homewares projects. The cotton has a slightly open weave that allows for lovely airflow, with a lightweight feel and a naturally crisp, slightly firm handle. It has a touch of texture and structure without feeling heavy, making it an interesting choice for relaxed shirts, lightweight jackets and unique statement pieces.
