What's New?

Savernake Road

From Anna Maria Horner's new collective, Savernake Road by animator Monika Forsberg is a collection of bold prints and colors.

Shiny Objects

We're all easily distracted by Shiny Objects - Sweet Somethings, by Flaurie & Finch for RJR. Silver metallic accents on white or cream backgrounds.

These unique fabrics look like they’re hand-painted, but they are actually printed! The hand-painted look gives them a cool feeling, and Amy Friend’s eclectic color palette will provide lots of opportunities for experimenting.
