The Elegance of Toile Fabric
If Baby’s first contact with a new environment must be his own bedding, it seems appropriate to allow Baby to lavish amid the most elegant linens and coverlets possible. Toile is a beautiful, artful design that has been used on fabric for upholstery, wall coverings and more recently, porcelain china teapots in the most elite French chateaus and for table linen fabric since the late 1700’s when it was first known in France as toile de juoy.

Toile may consist of a scenic design on a white or off-white background. The pattern repeats throughout the length of the fabric.

Generally, this scene may be painted in thin pin strokes of black or red on the white background. Although less familiar, blues and browns have also been used.
