Patterns
Stripe Bedding is not just for longing for the warm past, it is also best for people who have a taste for multiple colors and would like to mix them. If you can make a choice and use more than one color, why wouldn’t you? Some colors shine together better.
But before we get to that, stripe bedding wasn’t just a cute memory before…
“Once associated with society’s outsiders, stripes were long viewed as a mark of disgrace and low status. Yet by the late eighteenth century, as elaborate chinoiserie designs fell out of favor and neoclassical style began to rise, vertical stripes gained popularity. In the nineteenth century, they were confidently adopted by political leaders and members of royalty, transforming their reputation entirely.”
It is funny how fashion and human mind work; now we are wearing that same pattern on slippers; Such as our best selling Thin Striped House Slippers.
