morim/chitão/algodão rústico


Explanation:
Calico is a fabric made from unbleached, and often not fully processed, cotton. It may contain unseparated husk parts, for example. The fabric is less coarse and thick than canvas or denim, but owing to its unfinished and undyed appearance, it is
still very cheap.

Qualquer tecido de algodão com acabamento rústico
