Fabric Tales - White côteline, or playing tennis in the 1910s

In the Vitale Barberis Archives a Claude Frère sample book from the early 1910s opens a window on Berlin: a growing city that was dynamic, vital and extremely interested in sports. On the tennis courts and in the clubs of the German capital, white côteline was a must-have as a type of uniform. This pure white fabric decorated with thin coloured stripes speaks of an epoch through fashion, sport and the codes of belonging to a society. These are the unexpected journeys that the sample books preserved in the Archives continue to make possible.
