Large Length Of 28.5 Meters Of Makò Cotton Fabric

This long piece of fabric, white and never used, is of great quality.

Makò cotton is, in fact, a type of high-quality cotton originating from Egypt. Its name comes from the Egyptian locality of Makò. It is considered one of the best cottons in the world, used, as in this case, for fine weaving. It is distinguished by the exceptional length of its fibers (between 30 and 34 mm) as well as its softness, brilliance, and durability.

This fabric was produced in Italy before 1972: the textile company Rossari & Varzi was active between 1895 and 1972. Founded by Paolo Rossari and Ercole Varzi, the company specialized in spinning and weaving cotton, with factories in several cities, including Galliate. During the Fascist period, the company reached its peak, but the end of the Italian economic miracle led to its decline, ultimately resulting in its bankruptcy in 1972.
