This was from an exhibit I saw not too long ago at the Portland Art Museum.
And her clothes. So many rich, handmade indigenous textiles from Mexico. Lace, embroidery, bold colors. Such a feast for the eyes.
On my bucket list: Frida and Diego’s house in Mexico City that is now a musuem. Has anyone been? I’d love to know how it was.
The Global Textiles Collection by STUDIO TULLIA.
There are some lovely handmade goods still available from this collection.
Originally it started from a unique collection of textiles from my (step)mother-in-law in Mexico and then my other (step) mother-in-law who had an amazing collection from Panama of Mola textiles.
This was a very popular collection and I have recently revisited my stash to create a revival of this collection. Stay tuned.

Embroideried textiles, huipiles (blouses and dresses) and other wovens were the inspiration for this collection. STUDIO TULLIA has added its signature bold color along with plaid, striped ticking, small prints and a few flourishes to round out this modern bohemian look.

My artist friend, Lorena, resides in Puerto Vallerta, Mexico. She loves to scour markets and village shops searching for artisan textiles and unique finds.
An initial heap of vintage Guatemalan textile finds has evolved into a growing Latin American textiles collection that I have named St. LORENA in her honor.

Hello Folks,
I’ve been revisiting black and white as well as moody, darker florals and grays lately. Black and white pairs with just about any color year round but resonates with me in the cooler months as colors deepen.
BLACK, WHITE & GRAY
I am pretty happy with the new palette below but planning to add some softer, textured notes and grays to the mix in the coming months.
The Bunny Hutch fabric by Hunt Slonem for Lee Jofa has been really popular as has the FAUNA (the black spots) by Kate Spade for Kravet. The other coordinates below work with everything and the iconic CHIANG MAI DRAGON in SMOKE is so fresh in this new color way even though its from the 20’s.
Here is how the pillow collection is looking. You may shop the full BLACK & WHITE COLLECTION with all custom sizes at my website.
Ready-mades and bargains are ready to ship right away and available at my ETSY STORE
This is another palette I came up with that adds more color and vintage wovens and needlepoint to the mix.
This pillow is a vintage Guatemalan woven pillow with embroidery. I only have a couple left.
Pendleton Woolens in various black and whites are always a beautiful addition.
How fun are these fringe-laden pillows made from Pendleton Mill scraps!
RESEARCH
I’ve been looking at some of these fabrics below – what do you think?
SONORA adds a sophisticated boho vibe and some gorgeous texture.
This is more a natural linen color that also adds warmth and great texture to the mix.
VENTO
And here are some of the darker patterns I am loving right now:
CHAMBRAY in CHARCOAL on linen
AURORA DAMASK on linen
BINARY EMBROIDERY
OWLISH in BLACK by Kate Spade
EXOTIC BUTTERFLY in BLACK by Joseph Frank
ANTELOPES in JADE by Paul Poiret from the 1930’s

and this SHANGHAI PEACOCK fabric in a glasses case below for $24
And this Clutch purse in Chiang Mai Dragon for $24
I hope you are warming up to FALL and getting ready for all the festivities coming just around the corner. We are about to start decorating for Halloween and planning to do a Day of the Dead shrine this year. Ill share it with you on INSTAGRAM
While Spring/Summer are my favorites, I love Fall but I start to get down about the rain and lessening of light for the next several months in Portland. Thanks as always for reading and let me know your thoughts about the collection.
