_______________

 

It says something that nobody's quite sure why a fabric would be named after a girl. There's a theory: in 1952, a sitcom called "My Little Margie" beat the odds nobody gave it, launched as a summer placeholder and outlasted half the shows it was supposed to be a stopgap for. This pattern won't confirm the connection. It's not required to explain itself, and it's spent enough time filed in the wrong category to have earned a little mystery about its own name.

Brown on Silk Tussah — a warmer, more textured ground than a plain silk, with real editorial credit: paired with China Seas Aga Reverse at the Grand Hyatt Baha Mar. Rare enough that it got lost. Found now.
