Two-toned viscose embroidery with a calendared finish gives elegance to this timeless lattice design.

Clever stitch detailing adds interest and the clean white linen ground cloth brightens the lively, handsome colourations.

1904 marks the beginning of fauvism. Henri Matisse – alongside Paul Signac – discovers Saint-Tropez. Joyous and full of life, their paintings overturn the conformities of the 19th century by the boldness of their colour.

PLACE DES LICES is a modest work by the artist, yet it is a destination not to be missed in the little fishing village. Coloured façades, pink country houses, blue shutters, botanical gardens, flower markets, artists’ workshops, openair cafés with music and dancing, bakers’ shops and interior decoration boutiques evoke the French art de vivre on mild summer days. PLACE DES LICES is embroidered on a linen-cotton blend. The richness of the stitches – feather, satin and tatami – attest to the delicacy of the print that inspired it and the quality of the embroidery. With elegance and discretion, palm, pine and strawberry trees fade into pearl white, charcoal grey, saffron yellow and sky blue.

Traditionally recognized as a welcoming symbol, the pineapple conveys a sense of hospitality and warmth.

Originally drawn by hand, ANANAS EMBROIDERY incorporates two vibrant viscose yarns on a blended cloth. The beauty of this embroidery is in the stitch technique. It uses the same yarn at varied thicknesses to create an illusion of depth and color.

This playful embroidery comes in four sophisticated colors that perfectly capture the spirit of the West Indies.

LONGWOOD WEAVE is the textured upholstery plain you have been waiting for! Three different yarn colors are carefully dyed and then warped in a very specific manner to create an end result that, though very intentional, appears wholly organic.

It has a dry, all natural cotton composition, and is available in nine colors that layer beautifully throughout the Travers portfolio.

Timeless in its interpretation, ARBOR IKAT is a printed tonal stripe with irregular edges and a rhythmic repeat; a true testament to traditional woven ikats. Printed on a cotton and linen blend, each color world offers a range of casts and values which make it an excellent bridge to any room.

We teamed up with Southern California artist Allison Cosmos to develop AUDUBON GARDEN, our hero print; an original hand painted garden oasis filled with birds, flowers and butterflies. For its fabric adaptation, every brush stroke of this floral chinoiserie was carefully preserved.

Printed on a lightweight linen cloth using the latest in digital technology, each of the four color worlds creates a unique environment ranging from serene pastel to cheerful bright.

AUDUBON GARDEN is the perfect combination of old world charm with a modern twist.

GAZEBO VINE is adapted from a hand painted medallion found in the Travers archive.

The delicate and washed tonal quality of the original painting beautifully translates onto the fabric, giving the medallion climbing vine depth and dimension.

Printed on natural woven linen using environmentally friendly GOTS certified dyes, GAZEBO VINE is available in six colors that range from brick red and blush to sky blue and indigo.

Printed on a 100% linen ground cloth from artwork developed exclusively for Travers, Ottoman Riders is a fanciful design of Ottoman era figures in a dream-like garden.

The unusual and vivid colourations enhance the playful effect of this original design.

Samango inspiration comes from Ludwig Heinrich Jungnickel’s design dated 1913, originally called Urwald. It was part of the arts and craft movement and produced by the Wiener Werkstätte workshop in Vienna. —

This art deco inspiration has been translated through colour and technique for today’s interiors. — As conversational popularity rises, the Samango motif is a good fit for all customers. — Printed on a textured ground.

This exceptional rustic chevron design has dimension and movement running throughout the fabric.

A very special technique is used, where three different coloured wool yarns are live-spun into a single cord and then a skilled artisan hand guides the embroidery machine. MAASAI MARA is named for one of Africa’s top protected wildlife destinations in Kenya’s flagship conservation area.

KUDU CHEVRON is another design resurrected from the Travers archive. This playful screen printed chevron dances across the fabric, like a herd of Kudu galloping through the woodland.

Comprised of two colours, the thicker chevron line is printed first, with the thinner line placed directly on top. Printed on a blended cotton and linen cloth, the density of the pigment dye is very important for the design to be successful.

This best-selling Indienne design printed on a linen ground is from the Travers archive and is the centerpiece of the collection.

We are thrilled to offer 4 new spectacular colourways to ensure BEAUMONT INDIENNE remains a hit for generations to come.

SINGITA PARADE is named after the famed safari lodge in South Africa which is host to many elephant herds. This design originated from the Travers archive and has been reintroduced as a traditional screen print. From afar it may appear to be an allover organic design, but as you move closer, the playful elephants come into focus.

Printed on a very fine 100 per cent cotton cloth, this design requires a very patient printing process. First the rarity of the line work inside the elephants is printed by fine pigment.

Then, in order for the metallic outline to stay together, the printer must wait for the ink on the fabric to fully dry before printing. Offered in its documentary coloration with Gold and Black, SINGITA PARADE is also available in Champagne and Taupe, Bronze and Green and Silver and Blue.

CAPE FLORAL is a nod to the magnificent Cape Floral Region in Southern Africa, one of the world's most diverse floral areas. Comprised of over 20 colours, this design is digitally printed on a structured cotton-linen base cloth. The density of the pattern is offset by a subtle leaf silhouette which sits recessed in the background.

CAPE FLORAL is offered in four gorgeous colorations, including a rich warm neutral with Saharan camels, taupe and terracotta and a bold peacock-inspired colourway with deep emerald, leafy green, navy and periwinkle.

The distressed detailing in this subtle snake skin beautifully evokes a rustic feel. RAJAH is made on an ombre warp using weaving techniques to give it a slightly raised effect. Short for Rajasthan the capital of Jaipur, Rajah is available in 4 colourways.

Named after New Yorkês most famous private park, GRAMERCY is a casual 100 per cent natural drapery.

The broken lattice was created with intentional breaks in the design to produce a distressed and rustic feel. It is lightweight and drapes easily, offered in a range of six colours. GRAMERCY can be used individually or as an excellent layering piece.

CENTRAL PARK TOILE will stop you in your tracks! Attention to detail is poured into every stitch of this embroidered adaptation of an original pen and paper drawing. We used a very fine, short embroidery stitch technique on a linen and cotton base cloth to recreate classic Central Park scenes. Vignettes include Bethesda Fountain, Belvedere Castle, a view from the reservoir of the luxury San Remo apartment, a paddle boat from the famed Boathouse and of course New York's iconic tree-lined Central Park Mall. Available in four colours, this toile is truly one of a kind.

The craftsmanship involved in creating BOSQUE MOIRE is passed down from generations before. The warp and weft are first yarn dyed and then woven to create a subtle ottoman weave effect. The fabric is then fed through cylinders that determine and press the moir_ pattern onto the cloth, ensuing in an incredibly elegant, organic pattern.

BOSQUE MOIRE is available in six colours, from pale ivory and oyster, to soft blush and sky, finishing with a dusty patina and rich emerald.

Adapted from an antique screen-printed design, St. Croix is a tropical bird and floral print on a beautiful cotton satin ground cloth.

Available in four vibrant colourways, St. Croix is a dramatic statement print that can make a room.
