The story
Cocktail is Fedrigoni's party dress: a coloured sheet coated on both faces with mica, the mineral that gives pearl its glow, so the colour shifts and shimmers as it moves. Each shade is named for a drink, from inky Black Russian and midnight Blue Moon to Curacao teal, golden Mai Tai and the pearl-white White Lady. With just two weights, 120 and 290 gsm, it is built for wraps, linings, invitations and boxes where a little glamour goes a long way.

Feel it first
A screen cannot tell you how a sheet feels. Compare the weight, surface and colour in hand.
