Textured

You can have the prettiest of colors and prints but it’s the fabric that brings them to life.

Fabric literally makes the garment. It determines the weight, luster and structure. 

I love a good peplum for its waist defining design and feminine ruffle hem but add an Aztec woven print in a tapestry fabric and fringed raw edge and you have a unique and worldly looking piece!

I feel as though this fabric could have originated from the other side of the world.  The thick woven composition gives it an expensive & substantial look.

I wanted to add color but rather than go with a bold compliment, I’m really feeling pastels alongside the stark ‘black & white’ combination.  It’s unexpected and softens the palette.

You could pair this top with pencil skirts, trousers, jeans of any color!

And if you want to go the neutral route go for white jeans or ivory suiting.

Look beyond the garment and add textured fabrics to bring interest in your wardrobe.

Native

Fine fabrics get me all tickled pink.  I love the look and feel of quality textiles such as silk, wool, tweed, cashmere, embroidery and at the top of my list are woven tapestries.  Particularly a fine antique/classic rug.  I've had a thing for rugs for over 10 years and have a few eye-catchers in my own home.  Something about the handmade designs and rich colors brings beauty to a room.

I make it a mission to support local businesses and designers right here in North Carolina.  It's the American dream and also one of mine to be entrepreneurial with one's talent, bringing one of a kind goods and services to your community.
Native does just that.

This gal refurbishes tapestries into wearable accessories that add culture to your look.
Pair them over your classic pieces, like a crisp white shirt or denim, to add a pop of texture and interest or be extra fun and layer on the prints.  These unique textiles are sure to bring admiration.

With a variety of colors and patterns you're sure to find one that suits your fancy.
