It poured down with rain all weekend here in Melbourne, and despite the fact that we’re meant to be having beautiful summer sunshine, it’s sometimes nice to cosy up indoors and just enjoy some time relaxing.
Elizabeth Bailey’s bedroom designed for Traditional Home’s Hampton Designer Showhouse last year would have been the perfect place to spend a lazy day at home.
Our very own Madeline Weinrib has paired up with Argentinean designer Soledad Twombly, designer of the label SOLE by Soledad Twombly. Soledad just launched a new collection in New York that incorporates the fabrics from our ikat queen.
The collection’s fifteen pieces celebrate Twombly’s love for exotic Central Asian textiles, mixing Weinrib’s signature handmade ikats with Twombly’s signature rich Italian fabrics like velvets.
Congratulations to both Madeline and Soledad, the pieces are to die for.

This month’s Belle magazine is on the shelves and our very own China Seas is featured on page 68 and Les Indiennes is featured on page 69. It is a beautiful spread on a range of fabulous fabrics from tribal prints to French provincial.
The China Seas range includes geometrics, floral, and Chinoiserie patterns that are continuously used by top American Interior Designers. The colours and patterns are timeless, making them perfect for either classic or modern interiors. They are hand screened on a linen/cotton ground. China Seas designs are also available in wallpaper.
Les Indiennes fabrics are a modern interpretation of traditional Indian motifs designed by Mary Mulcahy. The fabrics are made in India using the traditional Kalamkari process, which does not cause pollution and provides fair trade for over 50 families in the Indian village where there are made. The patterns are printed on organically grown cotton using natural dyes. The results are soft, beautiful and timeless. Quilts, cushions and bed linen is also available in coordinating patterns.
We love this month magazine with the bright yellow and white awning featured on the front, very Hamptons indeed. Skip to page 76 and low and behold there is my Hamptons outfit waiting for me. Thank you Belle for loving our lines and for producing such a fun read month after month.
DB Home has a new fabric line that is making us day dream about summer nights, cocktails and exotic places (more than we were before that is). It is Katherine Rally, it is absolutely beautiful and we are so excited to have this totally new line in our showroom. The colours are extensive and vibrant; there is a delicious tangerine, a lovely versatile kelly green and a stunning pink coral to name just a few.
The name Katherine Rally comes from a talented husband and wife duo, Katherine and Rally Dupps. Their inspiration for the line was during their travels to Indonesia. Surrounded by stunning beauty, they created their own line of batiks inspired by their love of travel, textiles and design.
The range includes fabrics by the yard, cushions and tableware.
We have their line in our showroom now, so pop by if you too are craving the warmer months and in need of a little inspiration.
The Dupps family
These cushions are really so special.
Imagine your table with these and a jug of sangria!
And now I am day dreaming again.....
We are so excited to have Lisa Fine’s collection of beautiful textiles in our showroom. The range is inspired by Lisa’s travels and exotic textiles, particularly from India. We hope you all love them as much as we do!
How amazing does Lisa’s Pasha Palm look on the walls of Peter Dunham’s store Hollywood at Home!
