Get Reacquainted with Bailey & Griffin
With the purchase of the B. Berger family of brands in the summer of 2012, Duralee acquired the 90-year-old archives of the luxury fabric brand Bailey & Griffin. While combing through decades of artwork, fabric and wallcovering designs, it became evident to the Duralee executives that the prestige of the Bailey & Griffin product was not to be ignored.  Hence, they are pleased to have revived this iconic line of refined high-end fabrics for the distinguished home.
American Made…
Hand-screened on high-quality ground cloths in the same Rhode Island mill that Bailey & Griffin had been using for decades, the fabrics of the new Bailey & Griffin collection follow in the footsteps of its sought-after predecessors. This intricate printing process ensures attention to detail and a level of color saturation that cannot be achieved by other printing methods. Â The Bailey & Griffin designers are committed to keeping the production of this product here in the United States.
Awash in color…
Bold, saturated, statement-making color is a signature of the new Bailey & Griffin product line. With roots in European palettes, the color range of Bailey & Griffin fabrics reflect today’s market trends and maintain an upbeat, energetic appeal. For design schemes that call for a more understated approach, the collection also contains a selection of neutrals that stand in contrast to the more saturated hues, as well as coordinated wovens to complete the room.

Pindler Presents: Newport Mansions Doris Duke.
Pindler’s Newport Mansions Doris Duke™ Indoor/Outdoor Collection is an eclectic assortment of exotic patterns inspired by the batiks, sarongs, kimonos, and personal gatherings of an iconic world traveler, Doris Duke. Doris Duke had a passion for hand crafted textiles from around the globe, which we have illustrated with this group.
For this collection, our inspirations were found in the archives at Doris Duke’s Rough Point estate in Newport, Rhode Island. We were excited to discover a trunk filled with artisan indigo hand woven textiles all dyed with indigo using century old techniques, collected during her travels in various countries around the world. Each document has an interesting story and unique process to how it was made. We have interpreted the original batiks into a performance Indoor-Outdoor story all woven with 100% solution dyed acrylic.
Solution dyed all-weather acrylic is the perfect performance fabric for casual indoor and outdoor living. Solution-dyed acrylic is durable, resists moisture, fading and mildew, while its also beautiful, breathable, and feels soft and comfortable to the touch.

Lee Jofa Announces Second Fabric Collection with Oscar de la Renta.
Lee Jofa is proud to announce a new collection from the legendary fashion designer Oscar de la Renta. The collection, which includes fabric and a debut selection of wallpaper, is a follow up to the 2010 debut of Oscar de la Renta Home for Lee Jofa.
The new collection builds upon the most successful elements of the first collection, with new embroideries, saturated ikats and ethnic-inspired patterns, all exhibiting the fine tailoring and detailing that is the Oscar de la Renta signature. From romantic floral chintz to exotic embroidered kuba cloth, one sees the same sensibility he brings to his clothes. The collection features traditional colors and patterns, rendered in a thoroughly modern scale and ideal for upholstery and drapery that adds sophistication and elegance to any space.
“This is a very iconic collection, in the sense that it most reflects Oscar’s lifestyle and sense of refinement, and all that he loves the most: His passion for gardens, his love of romantic chintzes, exotic prints and rich saturated colors,” said Carolina Irving, Creative Director of Home. “This is a diverse collection that can live in a country house, a New York apartment or a tropical island, but always with the same connecting thread, Oscar’s sense of elegance.”
Oscar de la Renta Home for Lee Jofa is now available in Lee Jofa showrooms throughout North America.
