L’orage

Part of ‘Les Pluies’ or the Rainfall Collection, this fabric’s name means ‘The Storm’. The collection was inspired by a small Japanese sample book discovered in an antiquarian bookshop, containing designs from the early 20th century for men’s day-to-day kimonos. The designs had a restrained and humble poetry, and lent themselves beautifully to reinterpretation. L’Orage is a medium-weight linen with a print of raindrops falling against a background of dramatically intergrading black and sand-coloured bands.
