New for Spring

We are very pleased to announce our new Spring 2013 Collection. With this new line, Rosemary continues to build on a range of soft, highly textural fabrics, rugs and throws that are as distinctive as they are luxurious. Please contact us or your local showroom for samples or more information.

Alpaca Linen Fabric
A truly unique and natural fabric with a beautiful sheen, this combines the finest linen with natural undyed alpaca. Ideal for drapery and bedding.
 
Ombre Alpaca Linen
As an alternative to our most popular Ombre Alpaca Fabric, we are introducing a new colorway in our Alpaca Linen. 
 
Sadu
This neutral design is made with natural fibers to create an organic look and feel perfect for any room. Sadu is available in hemp, nettle or a silk and nettle blend.



Wheat Field
Made from sanpat cactus, Wheat Field is a unique construction with a very organic, natural look and a beautiful silky sheen.

 
 
Shadow Stripes Throw
This eco-friendly, hypo-allergenic, nautical inspired throw is made from the fleece of baby alpacas, considered the softest and lightest of all alpaca fibers. Additional colors available.

Packing Valet

I love to travel.  And as much as I have done (I don't think there has been a three week stretch for over 15 years where I have not been on a plane), I still feel a thrill of excitement as the plane leaves the ground. 

Having said that, I hate to pack and unpack.  So I am all over what I see as a new trend in frequent business travel.  I was just talking the other day to some friends, as I faced another empty suitcase that needed filling, about how much I would love to have a set of bags prepacked for different destinations - hot urban (LA), hot beach (Miami), city (London), etc.  Of course it is a wild and extravagant fantasy, but then if it were practical and cost effective it wouldn't be a fantasy!

So I was very interested to see this piece in last weekend's New York Times travel section which would certainly allow you to pack lighter, at a cost of course.  I do think there is a genuine trend that hotels with frequent repeat guests could embrace at least storing toiletry bags of each guest's favorite products which would be handed over at check in.

Meanwhile, with a sigh, I head upstairs to start pulling out my wardrobe for my next journey and to make sure that I am not all out of my miniature toothpaste...

Is it a scarf? Is it a throw?

We loved our classic Ombre Throw and the new Cannelloni with Leather throw so much that we wanted to wear one everywhere went.  So I created a few scarves and we are offering a limited quantity for sale on our website to get you through the last bit of winter.
