With tongue planted firmly in cheek, Donghia introduces Mario, named in honor of Mario Buatta, dubbed by the design press “the prince of chintz” in the 1980’s for his extravagant use of it among his well-heeled clients. Our Mario is a chintz-finished, fine-woven, solid cotton canvas of exceptional quality. The chintz finish gives the face of the textile a light gloss effect, achieved through a process involving heat and starch that contradicts its fluid, soft appearance.
