Field & Sky is a celebration of nature through the medium of watercolor. By using fluid brush strokes and expressive colors, Yao Cheng captures the emotional beauty of landscapes, blooms, and skies.
We teamed up with Maven Patterns – their retro/modern looks are well suited to the pretty prints on our new cotton sateen – a versatile fabric for styles from tailored to flouncy.
Birds & Branches started out as a fun, monochromatic exercise one April afternoon and blossomed into a celebration of avian splendor in every color of the rainbow. As I paint, I imagine the secret lives of these jewel-toned birds, because just like us, each one is an individual. Has Sergio alighted on this branch on his way to aerial tango lessons? Does Olga question the wisdom of indulging in one last juicy, golden berry? Henri is clearly going to a poetry reading in his jaunty beret, and as for the rest, I guess we’ll never know for sure—but we can always have fun imagining their colorful lives!
Reminiscent of a safari trip through the jungle, Wild offers a bold and whimsical take on Leah’s favorite untamed creatures and flora. Inspired by her love of nature, Wild features tigers, elephants, zebras, lions, and cranes as well as her signature pieces of nature and geometric prints in vibrant colors. Not for the tame, Leah’s latest fabric adventure feels unrestrained, curious, and daringly wild.
In places far far away, time moves slow. We are in touch with the land. We watch the sun set. We look to nature for guidance. We spend our days working with our hands, weaving, and putting love into the things we craft. Inspired by Elizabeth’s travels and eternal wanderlust, this collection is a window to Faraway Places.

This collection illustrates a beautiful early morning walk in the woods, when the newly damp air is greeted by waves of dancing mushroom blooms and graceful garden snails. The collection was named after the small wonders under the timber trees.

“Business Class is for ladies. Ladies who set up spreadsheets and change diapers and pay the rent. Ladies who like pretty blouses and suing for breach of contract. Ladies who are ‘fast, thorough, and sharp as a tack, who are touring facilities and picking up slack,’ in the immortal words of Cake. Here’s to women who are getting things done.”

“Fanciful is a homage to blooms and blossoms, inspired by my late grandmother, Grace, who loved all things floral and fancy, especially roses. Her style influenced my love of color, fashion, and design from an early age. She loved dressing up in bright floral prints, had an impressive collection of elegant hand-painted floral teacups and a house full of artificial floral arrangements.
