I simply returned from a fast three day journey to the Coachella valley within the California desert. In the event you noticed my Instagram tales, you already know I had a number of hours to browse the house decor and furnishings retailers within the space that features Palm Springs, Indio, Yucca Valley, Palm Desert, and Joshua Tree Nationwide Park. Desert type continues to be going robust, the impartial tones, natural textures, and woven supplies are nonetheless in demand particularly within the mushy desert tones that embrace clay, taupe, sage, blush, and terra cotta.
In a number of shops I seen textiles in sabra materials, largely pillows and tote luggage. All of them had been so pretty l I discovered myself eager for a sabra pillow or two so as to add to my sofas for the autumn. It’s been awhile since I wrote about textiles, however my current go to to the desert impressed as we speak’s highlight!
What’s sabra you would possibly ask? Sabra is also known as “cactus silk” though the fibers really come from agave which is a succulent, not a cactus. The leaves of the agave are harvested then dyed with botanical pigments. The threads are loomed into the silk after which embroidered patterns in geometric motifs are historically added.
The agave plant is native to Mexico however the materials are cultivated in Morocco, so a lot of the sabra textiles offered world wide are sourced from Fes or Marrakech. It’s a textile that can be related to the desert bohemian type of decor so naturally the patterns pop up in residence decor retailers within the desert.
