New Summer Fabrics

By Kate Riley July 8, 2016

For these new prints I found inspiration in my recent trip to Fiji and Australia, by the tropical climate and the colors of summer. Exotic flowers, vivid sunsets, beautiful beaches! In those vistas I observe such beautiful colors and want to recreate them in textile form.

I ran out of time to pull together a lookbook this season since I’m boarding a plane for Paris today (bon voyage!) so I’m sharing some styled images here. In addition to the Go With The Flow print introduced yesterday, I’m excited to introduce these new patterns to you!

I had a lot of fun designing these new prints in a variety of complementary colorways that you can mix together.

Hibiscus is available in two colors, Apricot and Blue. It’s a brushstroke version of the exotic flower with floating leaves in the background.

I do so love this Shibee print (my shibori wannabe) in a gorgeous navy blue, I colorized it to give it a watercolor effect, it’s so pretty as as curtains or a tablecloth.

I also love this Inked pattern, the dots mimic ink blots! It’s available in eight different colors to play with as fabric or wallpaper.

Kelp is a smaller scale repeat inspired by time spent in the ocean, it’s available in five different colors.

Its sister fabric is Kelp Ombre which gets its look from watercolor brushes and is really pretty up close, also available as wallpaper and fabric. The blue one reminds me a little of a peacock feather.

Glassy was inspired by mid century modern glass windows, and also cement block patterns, this fabric is available in three colors.
