Journeys and Vintage - by St Leger & Viney

While I missed the official launch of St Leger's two new ranges last week, I managed to pop in the following day and take a look at their glorious new goodies...

Vintage is a range of upholstery fabric that's been engineered to look like a well-worn chenille. There are three designs in the range: Antique, Antique Kelim and Vintage.  All designs are tough and boast between 40 000 to 50 000 rubs. Although they slot in perfectly in vintage styled interiors, they also work well in contemporary interiors (the contemporary, clean lines of the sofa in the St.Leger showroom attests to that). Antique Kelim is available gorgeous jewel colours (no-one does ranch-chic like Ralph Lauren, right?), while Antique and Vintage colourways range from soft, muted hues to deep, dark tones and fiery warm tones.

Technical facts: 
Antique has 50 000 rubs and is made up of 69% synthetic (P) and 31% Cotton. It comes in six colourways

Antique Kelim has 40 000 rubs, is 100% synthetic (P) and comes in three colourways.

Vintage has 50 000 rubs, is 100% synthetic (P) and comes in six colourways.

Journeys consists of thirteen designs and uses rose quartz, black and charcoal, indigo and apple green. Printed on a blend of cotton, linen and rayon, the base-cloth has a soft, luxurious handle. The whole range is on trend regarding gender-neutrality and could translate to almost any interior.

Designs Bricktown and Cutglass are strong, easy-to-use geometrics. Bambara, Dreamtime, Eden, Maui and Mudcloth all pay homage to tribal patterning. 



Frond, Pollock and Wycombe are all painterly and inspired by different paint techniques. Shibori, Shibori Diamond and Shibori Dot are all a nod to the Japanese shabori tradition of manual resist dyeing.
