Have you always wanted to see your hometown or favorite city immortalized in fabric? Well, Town Toiles may be just the thing. The Florida based company has created a line of toile fabric and wallpaper that celebrates such cities as Charleston, New York, and San Francisco. Other cities that will make their design debut this year include Atlanta, Palm Beach, and Philadelphia. In addition to fabrics and wallcoverings, they also sell home accessories made from their toiles.

Have you seen the ones that Shelia Bridges has done of Harlem, NYC? She felt that that area wasn't represented in toiles. They're very interesting.
ReplyDeleteFairfax, I forgot all about that. I have seen her toile (isn't it on her website?)and it was quite interesting. Thanks for reminding me!
ReplyDeleteThis is heaven for me. I LOVE toile with a twist! Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteEek, I don't suppose they have Marrakech, do they?
ReplyDeleteAlyssa- So glad you like it. I love the novelty of it.
ReplyDeleteMaryam- Perhaps you could put in a request???? Would that not be an exotic toile!

The Hazelnut in New Orleans carries a New Orleans toile.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth- thanks for the info. I just checked out their website- I love the New Orleans toile!
ReplyDeleteApparently Tiffany & Co. introduced a "New York Toile" collection in 1994 and it might have been available until 2006.
ReplyDeleteIt mostly featured porcelain pieces adorned with iconic New York City scenes such as the Statue of Liberty, City Hall and the Brooklyn Bridge. I also found a scarf/shawl from the same collection on the web. Google "Tiffany & Co New York Toile". Much prettier imo than the one from Town Toiles :)
Thank you for reminding me of that TCO collection! I believe it was introduced while I was employed there, which would have been in the mid-90s.
