When it comes to fabrics, there are the divas and the supporting cast, the queen bees and the worker bees. No fabric line, and these days no interior, is complete without both. Scalamandre boosts the performance of its longstanding stellar designs with 15 stylish, playful, highly adaptable, extremely versatile, super-hardworking textiles. Intended especially for second homes and for those with a more casual lifestyle, these reasonably priced team players span the spectrum of pattern language from traditional to transitional to contemporary. Stripes, checks, plaids, large-scale damasks, hefty textures, oh-so-soft chenilles, and small, lacy traceries all contribute to a gleeful, distinctive, Scalamandre-style mix that performs effortlessly in all regions and for all ages. Woven to stand up gracefully to everyday use in active environments, the Essentials Collection's designs incorporate Scalamandre's thematic hues—its characteristic and expected reds, blues, yellows, neutrals, and greens—to coordinate and crossover easily to work with Scalamandre's collection at large.

Castera Floral
Voluptuously abloom, this large-scale floral-and-vine pattern seems to teem with texture, thanks to faux crewel detailing.

Fringe Benefits
Passementerie, the French-derived term for decorative trimmings has its roots in fashion. Just as accessories make the outfit, adding touches of trim can give a stylish finish to any room. Serving the dual function of visual enhancement and hard-working utility, Scalamandre new Essentials Trim Collection offers an endless range of 100% silk braids, galloons, gimps, cords, loop and cut fringe in lush, thematic hues to coordinate with and adorn those beautiful, Scalamandre signature prints and wovens. No seating, cushions, curtains, pillows and throws will be complete without them.

Embroidery Collection
Drawn from 17th century English designs, be-stitched blossoms, petals, leaves, tendrils and vines beguile and bewitch. On grounds of linen and polyester, motifs explore the relationship between nature and embroidery from the traditional to stylized in a range of resplendent colors.
