Why We Love It
Moda’s signature dyed-then-printed technique gives Grunge its authentic distressed canvas aesthetic. Manilla provides an approachable, warm off-white hue that is softer than stark white, naturally forgiving piecing seams while creating a warm, glowing foundation for your favorite prints.
