Italian term

tele mano carta

Italian to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion shoes
From a list of the features of a new shoe collection:

croquet di canapa e lino con fili in cellulosa washi per tele mano carta.

I have no other context other than that these are women's casual shoes.

Thanks!

Discussion

philgoddard Sep 9, 2013:
Isn't it "tela" rather than "tele"? I've found what appears to be the text you're translating, and that's what it says. Also, all the hits (except for your text) say "tela, mano carta", so it looks like there's a comma missing. However, I don't know what "mano carta" means.
Shera Lyn Parpia Sep 9, 2013:
croquet.... is that preceded by anything else?
philgoddard Sep 9, 2013:
Does that mean you understand the rest of the sentence? It looks odd to me. What are "croquet" and "washi", for example?

Selected

crisp/papery fabric

or fabric with a papery feel
or fabric with a crisp finish

From what I have seen, I think they mean a smooth, light and crisp texture - in other words, papery.
