Spanish term or phrase: la esterilla

More fashionista terminology!! this, yet again, is a specific type of patterned material.....I know that it can mean wicker, but I can't imagine using this word to describe a pattern. For those of you who didn't see my first posted question, it relates to the Armand Basi Fall 2003 Menswear collection
