Launched in London at Decorex in 1997 to rave
reviews, The Kathryn M. Ireland Fabric Collection was
inspired by an old favorite quilt that had lasted for
at least one hundred years until it got to her house.
The 19th century quilt was not up to the challenge of
Kathryn's three boys Oscar, Otis and Louis jumping on
it.
Challenged
by this experience to make a sumptous "Kid and Dog
Friendly" fabric that incorporated an old world beauty
and charm, Kathryn developed her collection which is handpainted
on hemp, a remarkably durable fabric. Paisleys, florals
and tickings blend a nostalgic allure with contemporary
colors: Apple Green, Fire Engine Red, French Blue and
Lemon Yellow.
Since
then Kathryn Ireland has expanded her collection to include
an ever expanding array of wovens. Kathryn M. Ireland
Fabrics can be found at showrooms throughout the United
States and in London at the Imperial Laundry in Battersea.
