Tassinari is one of the few companies in the world capable of doing it because it is part of their continued tradition. But whether or not historical accuracy is the aim, it is always satisfying to know you are dealing with authentic materials.gésbihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18094108253356167918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1567318375972114465.post-7941150408624259852013-08-24T06:41:58.583+02:002013-08-24T06:41:58.583+02:00Fantastic!

I was so glad to see an as-close-as-possible reproduction rather than a new interpretation based on a document (usually with disappointing results).John J.

Fabrics are so close to us, so essential that many people often forget them. Your mother must have given you a strong awareness. I don't think anyone is indifferent to textiles - they are too much a part of us, but many will forego their true beauty in exchange for color and a general look in clothing or in the home. I'm all for including even one very fine fabric in an interior or a wardrobe, like you might do with a beautiful jewel, a very good watch, or an exceptional painting - to highlight more ordinary days and ways.gésbihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18094108253356167918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1567318375972114465.post-35983398364148806352013-07-27T16:02:42.957+02:002013-07-27T16:02:42.957+02:00They are, my mother did.

It's true that our appreciation of these things often stems from childhood experiences - and for that we should be grateful. That has also been my case. I just hope that mothers today are able to transmit some knowledge and love of fabrics still !gésbihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18094108253356167918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1567318375972114465.post-26842534366102500192013-07-24T17:47:19.460+02:002013-07-24T17:47:19.460+02:00Stunning.My Mother taught me from early childhood ...Stunning.<br><br>My Mother taught me from early childhood to appreciate fine things.
