2 | Unique fabric dyed with Fuller's earth |
|
MATIERE UNIQUE TEINTE EN FOULON Unique fabric dyed with Fuller's earth Explanation: Pretty tricky, especially without an image. I think the "unique" must be used here as a marketing term (one of a kind, special, etc.) rather than "single". And Fuller's earth seems to be used as a treatment for fabrics, ageing, weathering and dyeing leather for example - which would make sense for the boots. Could the clothing be leather too? So I'm assuming it's a description of some innovative fabric, possibly leather, using Fuller's earth to make it look a certain way. Hope that helps! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 49 mins (2018-10-25 15:41:21 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://books.google.fr/books?id=hbKkCwAAQBAJ&pg=PA356&lpg=P...
