The thistle flower also blossoms on a flame retardant outdoor fabric that stands up to water, salt, chlorine and sunlight. It is crafted from recycled Trevira^®, from production waste, woven into supple, very robust yarns: a sustainable solution that gives rise to a surprisingly soft, enveloping fabric with a cotton-like consistency. Fiore di Cardo Dehors is crafted with the jacquard technique and is ideal for upholstery and cushions for outdoor use.
