Inside The Alluring Seaside town of La Rochelle, France
Gallic City: La Rochelle, FranceOur Paris correspondent, and photographer, Sarah Boutinon-Tharse takes us on a wondrous journey to western France. La Rochelle is a city, and seaport on the Bay of Biscay, a part of the Atlantic Ocean. Sarah not only enjoyed her time at the beach with her family, but during her holidays, she was intrigued once she discovered that this charming town became one of the French center for faience in the end of the 18th century. Bernard Palissy, French Huguenot potter, hydraulics engineer and craftsman, famous for having struggled for sixteen years to imitate Chinese porcelain, was born in the region and had some bearing in the development of French Faience. Follow Sarah on Instagram. She has a joyful and fresh eye for details, and a keen understanding of her beloved country. All of these attributes shine through her photographs.

An adaptation of the omonimous Hermès scarf.The Hermes Collection from DedarThe 2011 debut of the Hermes collection from Dedar was very well-received and seemed to have produced some wonderful results for both parties. As Maison & Objet is kicking off today in Paris, I’m very interested in finding out what’s new for the Italian textile house in 2013 (look for the latest pictures from the fair on our Facebook and Instagram sites in the next few days). I sincerely hope you get inspired to decorate and refresh your interiors by choosing these gorgeous and wondrous textile patterns for your homes.

Bibliotheque: Screen printed in 140cm wide, the design evokes Emile Hermès collection of equestrian books
Les Sangles: Girths, buckles and straps necessary for keeping horses blankets in place during horse races are here interpreted in a monochrome mix of black, grey and white, or in citrus colors
Equateur Impression Chaine: An iconic design by Robert Dallet created in 1988 subtly reproduced using the technique of warp printing
Right: As shown in an interior: Bibliotheque

Ziggy: A small geometric pattern on a satin ground. An elegant contrast is created between the smooth ground and the linen relief yarn. Precious, versatile and hard-wearing also for upholstery.
Why from Dedar – A bold and glamorous pattern that is a motif of Japanese inspiration, updated by the chromatic contrast between its satin stitch embroidery and a satin ground. Soft and full-handed when used for drapes, but hard-wearing in upholstery applications. -
Discarded treasures from HERMES
Lesailes Hermès le petit h by HERMES
Another Hermès post by another blogger? Not exactly. This one is a bit different, and let me tell you why. The Internet is loaded with countless of images and posts about Hermes, the French luxury-goods house, but when it comes to Le Petit h, surprisingly enough, there simply isn’t enough said about the subject.What exactly is Le Petit h? Simply put, it is a variety of discarded and excess materials from Hermès’ workshop. Since the end product didn’t meet Hermès rigorous standards, these pieces aren’t cast off, but have been given a second life, sort of speak, as various artists create a series of one-of-a-kind handcrafted accessories and toys ranging from leather stuffed animals, ready to wear, furniture, porcelain bracelets, bamboo and crocodile swing… Get the picture?
