Sina Pearson Patio
Stripe
This designer may be known for celebrating the traditions
of Africa, Japan, and other far-flung lands, but her Patio
Stripe in 11 colors is all-American. Part of the Fun in the
Sun collection, it's executed in 100 percent Sunbrella
solution-dyed acrylic, meaning that when it comes to lasting
through rain, sun, stains, and mildew, this cheery pattern is
also all business. 150 Varick Street, New York, NY 10013;
212-366-1146; sinapearson.com. |

10013; 800-366-4442; donghia.com. |

Suede collection

Pindler & Pindler Striscia
Known for giving its collections names that evoke Gilded
Age opulence (Newport Mansions, Far Pavilions, Hearst
Castles), with Striscia this manufacturer veered from that
theme with a sophisticated, decidedly modern configuration and
palette. Colors and textures alternate to create double the
visual interest; all six colorways in the polyester-cotton
weave are Teflon-finished for durability. 11910 Poindexter
Avenue, Moorpark, CA 93021; 800-669-6002; pindler.com. |

Joseph Nobel Athlete
This designer's aesthetic of understated cool has landed
his fabrics in swank restaurants nationwide (and, more
recently, at the Grove hotel, just outside London). His latest
offering is Athlete, an ingenious microfiber fabric with the
look and feel of suede that drapes like a much heavier weave.
The material is 100 percent polyester and is offered in 10
oh-so-chic hues. 2025 Irving Road, Dallas, TX 75207;
214-741-8100; josephnoble.com. |

sheen. With wear, Luxianna's finish will gradually exhibit a
more tonal, vintage quality. Available in ten colorways. 1360

Carnegie Tattoo
collection
Inspiration can come from anywhere. Nature. Art. Or, in the
case of this recent textile launch, tattoo parlors.
The Tattoo collection's six patterns came to life after
creative director Heather Bush noticed a shift in the cultural
acceptance of bodily adornment as part of the young urban
professional identity. For research, she and her design team
took field trips to New York parlors. After isolating symbols
that referenced ethnic and pop culture, the team translated
them into woven textiles in 53 colorways—targeting retail,
corporate, hospitality, and health-care specifiers. (All
patterns exceed 75,000 double Wyzenbeek rubs.)
Abstract sunbursts in differing diameters explode across
Soleil, a polyester-rayon blend. Exotic arabesques, scrolls,
and curves float across nylon Ink. Wired, a cotton-wool blend,
takes a sharp look at the zigzag. The three remaining patterns
are nylon Flash Art, cotton-polyester Full Sleeve, and
Co-exist, a cotton-polyester blend. 110 North Centre Avenue,
Rockville Centre, NY 11570; 800-727-6770; carnegiefabrics.com. |

Edelman Spice
Market Collection
The mouthwatering tones of saffron, cumin, paprika, and
cinnamon—specifically as seen in the open markets of
Istanbul—inspired the manufacturer's design team to create the
Spice Market Collection, a thrilling line of opulent and
deeply saturated aniline-dyed full-grain leathers. The eight
earth tones are joined by light, frothy aquamarines and
greens, and even a rich blue inspired by Ottoman tiles. 80
Picket District Road, New Milford, CT 06776; 860-350-9600; edelmanleather.com. |
