Doggie in the WindowTuesday, August 23, 2011

Originating in the Scottish Lowlands, houndstooth is one of the world's most recognisable woven designs. The pattern is created by a simple twill weave with alternating bands of four dark and four light threads in both warp and weft...

We have two new houndstooth designs on offer: one is a classic houndstooth weave (Chivasso's Charmeur) while Etamine has a less traditional take on this classic:

Houndstooth Etamine

Houndstooth Etamine 2

Houndstooth Etamine 3

The design is called Echappee. As you can see it's houndstooth with a twist where the pattern is embroidered onto a linen/cotton ground. It's available in two vibrant colourways.

For a classic houndstooth check out 'Charmeur' from Chivasso's Blueprint collection. It made an appearance in a recent House & Garden feature on houndstooth (see below). It comes in 14 fabulous colours, ranging from the traditional neutrals through to unconventional combinations.
