I have been hoarding these 1960's fabrics for some time now! And I love them so much that they are displayed in a glass armoire in my living room. Seriously. Is that normal?
Most were scored at flea markets and some on Ebay. And even though I've used quite a few for curtains, evidently I don't have enough windows in my house because I still have a bunch left over. (You can spy these fabrics in action here, here and here.)
The bold colors and the simple symmetry of these flower designs (hallmark of Scandinavian 60's floral textile design) has served as inspiration to some of the newest hair clips in the Giddy Giddy collection - most notably Vintage Flora hair clips.
The 60's era has been an enormous inspiration to some of our current day textile designers too, including the ever so brilliant Orla Kiely who has reinterpreted retro and infused it with her incredible sense of color and rhythm.
I am still learning more about these vintage textiles and others like these and hope to report back when I've collected more research on them.
