It has come to our attention that many people don't know how to pronounce the word. Toile rhymes with ball (twall). That being established, lets move on to a brief description of the appearance of toile. French in origin, most times this print was done with a soft ivory color in the background although others colors have become available in recent years. It is the unique patterns on the background that make it toile. Think pastoral, primitive French country scenes all done in shades of one color. Due to its timeless classic simplicity, toile is often used by designers.
This has given rise to a far reaching variety of patterns and colors. However, the monochromatic color scheme is what distinguishes this print.
