Very large piece of original vintage Marimekko fabric from the mid-1970’s. The design is titled ‘Traktori’ and is a print with a bright white background and dark chocolate brown stripes. The crisp, geometric Traktori (tractor) print was inspired by the tread of a tractor tire (see reference below). Perfect for a large project that needs an impactful pattern.
Selvedge edges are clean and read the following:
