About the color. I asked around the collection, and San Marco — who wears Zibby Blue too, and claims to know everything — tells me Zibby was a real person, some twenty years back, though even San Marco goes vague on the details, which for San Marco is saying something. Here is what’s verifiable: Zibby Blue now runs through the China Seas line the way a good guest runs through a party — Island Ikat wears it, Sigourney wears it, Malaya wears it. Most people who get something named after them get a star in an unenforceable registry. Zibby got a blue, and the blue took. Whoever she was, she must have been the kind of person a room organizes itself around, because that is precisely what her color does.

Four yards is the honest number, so let’s be honest about what four yards is: two important chairs, or one spectacular bench and its pillow entourage, or the porch cushions that make the neighbors reconsider their porch. One of the photos shows a carved throne of a chair wearing this exact fabric like it was elected to office — that’s the correct energy for the yardage. Small lot, large presence, and when it’s gone, Zibby returns to legend.
