Clay McLaurin Textiles

Breaking news...I have a new fabric line crush. And I'm pretty sure you're going to love it too. Behold Clay McLaurin Studio textiles, a boutique collection of printed fabrics. The patterns and designs are simple but fresh and are produced in really lovely colorways. Printed right here in the USA, each design seems to have one or two ground options including 100% Belgian linen, 100% cotton, and a cotton + linen blend.

Clay, one of the founders, is an artist and paints each design. There is definitely an organic/modern vibe going on, however, the aesthetic is very versatile and I can imagine these fabrics in lots of spaces. For instance, Elena in Peony would be so stinkin' cute in a little girl's room and Wave in Midnight would be awesome in a study.

Have a look at a few of my favorites:

Elena - Wave

Brush - Bleeding Heart

Medallion - Elena

Wandering Stripe - Manji

Shibori - Hay Bales

If you're loving their goods like I am, be sure to follow their latest happenings and see more photos on the Clay McLaurin Studio Facebook page. Purchasing inquiries can be directed to the studio or if you live in or around Atlanta, the line is represented at Ainsworth-Noah, & Associates.

Lula Fabrics from South Africa!

I am newly obsessed with Lula Fabrics, a boutique South African textile company that produces super fun bright and bold prints on linen and cotton. Fabric junkie Melissa Kerkhoff started the company in 2007 and serves as its creative director and so I must say, well done Melissa - I LOVE your work!

All fabric is made in my favorite city (aside from Paris), Cape Town, and is distributed throughout Southern Africa. The line is enjoying international success as well and is currently being sold in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and the US. I'm so hoping one of the showrooms in Dallas will pick up the line. Until then, I'll have to find it next time I'm in New York or LA or better yet, during my next trip to Africa!

Behold the beauty of Lula Fabrics...
