Hinson & Company
Chenille has become wonderfully upscale and elegant. A prime example is Bayer, Hinson’s stunning geometric design comprised of pom-like contrasting rectangles against a waffle-weave chenille background. The effect is well defined and glamorous in intriguing colorways of white or white/beige, chocolate or wine/brown and green or straw/off white.
Textured fabrics are also fabulous this season. From Hinson comes Aegean Texture, a precise, classic Greek key design that is defined and dramatic. The striking fabric is primarily cotton and has the look of a heavyweight tapestry. Colorways have visual pop with blue, gold or tan/off-white; brown/black, brown/navy, black/gold, red/cream, green/green.
