Handmade in a textile workshop in Prato, Italy, this canvas spells out a series of major textile manufacturing cities in China, each beginning with a black letter. Prato, near Florence, is a historic textile city and home to Italy’s largest Chinese immigrant community. Many are active in the local mid-priced and high-end textile industry, where they now compete with manufacturers in their former home country.
