Alan Campbell Fabric: Vacances - Custom Turquoise on Tinted Belgian Linen / Cotton

Vacances arrives from the Alan Campbell archive like a postcard you forgot you sent yourself. Its diamond geometry suggests the precision of French needlework, but rendered in a hand that clearly had somewhere else to be—perhaps the beach, perhaps the café, certainly not at a loom counting threads.

Please note that colors may not represent accurately in photo. Additional photo(s) provided to show scale, not colorway. All sales are final, and we do not send cuttings for approval. 

This turquoise on tinted linen has the particular blue of swimming pools glimpsed through garden gates in towns where the shops close at noon and no one apologizes. It is the color of being unavailable. Of sand still in the binding of a paperback novel. Of the third week of August, when even the light seems to be on holiday. Pair it with sailing ship paintings and rattan, or don't—it will find its own way to the coast.
