The Bantry Bay Collection, launched fall 2008, is receiving a terrific reception across the country. The five stunning patterns and 24 beautifully textured colors have strong appeal to designers who especially appreciate high quality fabrics and natural fibers.
Inspired by the exceptional textiles that flourished along the west coast of Ireland during the last century, the Bantry Bay Collection pays homage to spinning, weaving and finishing techniques that are in danger of disappearing. The fabrics not only capture the spirit of a rich textile tradition but also reflect both the colors and textures of the untamed Irish landscape.
By creating this collection, Kristie hopes to inspire and educate designers who can in turn inspire and educate their clients about what goes into making these fabrics. This collection is both classic and modern and offers a wide range of possible applications.
