From an unnamed NY designer, this is a lovely lavender (PANTONE 16-3931) linen with a very subtle light sand stripe. Appears like a cross-dye with a slight stripey quality (vertically oriented). It's a medium, versatile weight perfect for any number of tops or bottoms. It's not sheer, although you may wish to line a dress or skirt. Dry cleaning recommended, or test first if you wish to wash at home.
