Frequently asked questions

Where does this design come from?

A gingham check painted in watercolour rather than printed flat, so the terracotta, ochre and olive bands sit softly on the cream. Two fig branches are laid over it — one with ripe purple fruit, one still green — with a hazelnut and an acorn dropped between them.

Which pieces come in this design?

Table runner, placemat, cloth napkin, tea towel and apron. Everything currently made in this print is on this page.

Is this a plaid or a gingham?

Both, in effect. It is built as a gingham — an even check — but in three autumn colours instead of one, which reads as a soft plaid on the table.

What does it go with?

A check is the piece that makes a statement print work. It sits under plain white china, and pairs with the solid fruit and pumpkin prints in the fall lines rather than competing with them.
