Color is life, for a world without color seems dead. As a flame produces light,
light produces color. As intonation lends color to the spoken word,
color lends spiritually realized sound to a form.

– Johannes Itten

Our latest introduction, Pinwheel, is a collection of fourteen solids composed of
linen/cotton that match our vibrant patterns from past collections.

Follow below for the story behind each color name and what inspired it.

Hathi Gray

Our dark gray color gets its name from the Hindi word for “elephant.”
We came face to face with them during our travels to
the South Indian sanctuary of Sakrebyle.

Badal Gray

Badal is the Hindi word for “rain” and is inspired by
the color of the Indian monsoon skies.

Anjeer Lilac

Anjeer is the Hindi word for “fig” and reminds us
of the color of this favorite fruit of ours.

Brinjal Purple

‘Brinjal’ is the Indian word for eggplant and is
a similar luscious deep purple color.

Hudson Indigo

Hudson Indigo is inspired by the deep blue of the Hudson River
in New York, especially during the Winter.

Peacock Blue

Peacock Blue conjures memories of dancing peacocks in Jaipur.

Parrot Green

Parrot Green is inspired by the Indian Ringneck Parrot
native to the southern Indian subcontinent.

Goa Sand

Goa Sand is reminiscent of just that – the warm neutral color of
the sands in the Indian beach town of Goa.

Cobblestone

Cobblestone is our nod to the cobbled
streets of Boston and New York’s West Village.

Kesar Orange

Kesar is the Hindi word for “saffron,” the coveted herb and dye that colors
dishes all over the world and is emblazoned on India’s national flag.

Rani Pink

Rani is the Hindi word for “queen.” Our Rani Pink is inspired by
the beautiful deep pink tones commonly seen in Indian clothing and architecture.
As Diana Vreeland once noted, “Pink is the navy blue of India.”

Cherry Lane Red

Our Cherry Lane Red is a nod to the red drapery in
the Cherry Lane Theater in Greenwich Village, New York

Natural Linen

Our Natural Linen was developed to match plant fibers and is inspired by
the neutrals that occur most commonly in nature.

Ivory

Ivory evokes the pureness of white imbued with the softness
and quietude of warmer tones to create balance for the eye.
